    There isn't a 64bit build so you need to install the 32bit version using a compatibility wrapper called nspluginwrapper. I think the simplest way is to install flash from Debian Multimedia.

    Code:
    # nano -w /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-multimedia
    deb http://www.debian-multimedia.org etch main
    
    # aptitude update
    # aptitude install debian-multimedia-keyring
    # aptitude install flashplayer-mozilla
    I, erm, have a little howto on my blog that includes a little more detail (plus setting up mplayer in iceweasel as well) although it was written for Lenny instead of Etch.

    N.B. I apologise in advance if posting a link to one's own site is considered bad form here. I didn't see anything in the rules but I'm famous for missing the obvious.

    mostly spot on, but the file is /etc/apt/sources.list - infact, i'd recommend using /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-multimedia

    Dang, that will teach me not to look things over more carefully.

    Thanks for pointing me towards sources.list.d: I hadn't spotted that before. I always seem to learn something new when I visit this forum.

    @peterb, thank-you for the kind words.
