[ubuntu-uk] BBC iPlayer Desktop and 10.04

[Bill Cumming]

It needs sudo to install since the default install location is "/opt"

It's best to download the ".air" manually then install it

get it here:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/dm/version2/revisions/bbc_iplayer_desktop_v307.air
It should be the latest version not sure!
go to your ~/Downloads directory and install using:

user at laptop:~$ Adobe\ AIR\ Application\ Installer
~/Downloads/bbc_iplayer_desktop_v307.air

That should work. (Note the adobe air installer needs the absolute path in
order to install.)
