    Dude! AWESOME!!! I had so much trouble trying to get this version to work. The prior 10 Beta was relatively easy, but stuff was not working here. Thanks for the “two click” install!
    And the performance of this RC is much better! 😀 YAY!

    Very nice job, was having a heck of a time trying to do this manually and was looking everywhere for solutions…. your script just did everything without any fuss. Thanks and I totally appreciate the time you must have put in finding fixes for all the install issues and making this “just work”.

  26. Primathon Says:

    Yup. Firefox was segfaulting after the install script was run. A restart seems to have fixed it. Thanks!

  27. ivo Says:

    Actually I had the same problem… Its waiting for a response and then its giving the 404 error message.
    It says:

    Please guys help me solve this problem. I am using ubuntu 9.04 (32 bit)

  28. acuervo Says:

    This is an old post. Besides this is only for 64 bit installs.

    To install flash on a 32 bit Ubuntu just paste the following in the terminal:

    sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree

  29. piwshop Says:

    cp: cannot stat `install_flash_player_10_linux/libflashplayer.so': No such file or directory

    what went wrong???

    Works perfectly, Thanks a lot
