Flash Issues on old 32 bit pc Solved!

[Pete Smout]

Hi,
Fixed it, don't know exactly what done it, but we installed Gnash, SWFdec,
Adobe flashplugin, flashplugin-installer, and anything else with flash in
the name! This was against my better judgement, and I was expecting
conflicts, but YouTube et-al now works.
Thanks to all for your help, it seems brute force & ignorance won through
this time!

Regards
Pete Smout
