Shockwave Flash File name: libflashplayer.so Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32

   1. Well, the streaming video now works!   :-)
   2. Have been unable to upgrade 3.5; the website recommends using synaptic
   package manager but in spite of marking stuff for removal and download, the
   version 3.0.15

Oh, well.  Thanks for everything!
