[ubuntu-za] DRM and software licensing (was Brainstorm on ideas to get Ubuntu to areas without internet)

[SHAWN REITSTEIN]

Hi, I'm told I need an Adobe Flash Player (installer) when I try to
view things or watch youtube? I have not been able to install(
reinstall?) the installer. Is there a trick? I imagine with the specs
of this system, it might not be able to handle it? I've downloaded it
a few times and have the Adobe ready for the install...no installer?
