What MyDSL extension do I need to download and install? Or is there something else I'm supposed to do instead?

use a forum search?
well... here's some hints: gtk2, gtk2 browser, flash9, alsa

alternative: looks like some good news in the dev of swfdec... if you want to try this out: < http://trends.newsforge.com/article.pl?sid=07/03/23/193205&tid=138 >

AFAIK there's problems getting flash9 to run on dsl - or has a solution been found?

mplayer should play flv files.
So try that.

Am I missing something?
Using the flash7 as in the sticky post works with DSL's inbuilt firefox.
I just visitied www.youtube.com and played several videos on their site.

Oh, really? I thought one would need flash9 or compatible version, but I think that's my bad misinterpretation of "get the latest flash player."
