Good ol' Flash player problems on 8.04.1 amd64 with kubuntu

[Gerald I. Evenden]

Browsing though the [k]ubunto web pages I do not find anything beyond 7.x 
dealing with getting Adobe's Flash onto Firefox, etc..  Does one follow the 
instructions for Dapper or what?  The web is getting slightly dated.

I wish Adobe would stop being such an a--hole and get a 64 machine going.  It 
shouldn't be that tough.

A minor unrelated complaint is giving "names" to the various released.  Just 
plain old 1.2.3 thank-you.

Thanks for any comments on the flash player problem.
