Rich:
Just did that for my BigDog wife. If you go to youtube and try to play 
something, you get a message and a link to adobe to download the thing 
from adobe. I downloaded the .tar.gz version, unzipped and untarred it 
and got a libflashplayer.so which I copied to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ 
or similar.

My wife is currently doing something on her Slackware disk (good wife) 
or I would confirm the location on her Ubuntu disk. When I get the 
chance, I will check the location where I copied libflashplayer.so. If 
it was different, I'll get back to you.
