You can find Hardy builds of flash 10 for Ubuntu on my PPA. More than
likely you will want to download libflashsupport and flash 10 from that
repo since there will be other things pushed to there and its very
possible gonna break your system. Flash works as expected nothing on
that link ATM is broken.
