Regardless, I think most distro's now use a late enough version of Chromium that it no longer works with Adobe flash (at least not without some serious effort).</p>

<p style="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;margin-right:0px;text-indent:0px">It's just easier. Last time I tried to make default Chromium use a regular version of adobe flash I spent an hour beating my head against the wall then installed normal Chrome from Google and everything works great.</p>

I understand from the first '+' that the text after the '+' that this is what you are supposed to type in. I can't quite grasp what the second command is. Oh.... I understand. usr is a directory in the tar package. They just want to copy the contents of it to /usr . They mention that this package is for firefox.... will that prove difficult? Why didn't I have problems like this last time?</p>
