Well I decided to install linux-flashplugin7 and I followed the
instructions inside linuxpluginwrapper (install a patch) and I got an
error:

# patch < patch-rtld.c
Hmm...  Looks like a unified diff to me...
The text leading up to this was:

Patching file libexec/rtld-elf/rtld.c using Plan A...

Hunk #2 failed at 178.
Hunk #3 failed at 1738.

Any ideas?

p.s. Why is installing Flash so hard?
