Pete, if you never got to the license acceptance part, your download was 
hosed. Adobe Flash will not run, if you do not agree to their license 
terms. If you installed it previously, I'd go into 
/var/cache/apt/archives and delete the package you have. (check in 
partial/ to see if it's in there, too) Then re-install it using the 
recommended apt-get command line, so you can't miss that license part.

Or, do this ...the automagic way:

Use the Software Center. It should flash up the acceptance of the 
license bit, More than once I have had the acceptance window hidden 
behind other windows covering it. It makes sense that the Software 
Center would handle it better than the usual brassknuckles approach that 
we're used to. Ric
