There are instructions on there, it is from 2008, although it should work, hopefully. :)

To install Flash support, run sudo apt-get install packagename, where packagename is replaced by swfdec-mozilla, mozilla-plugin-gnash, or flashplugin-nonfree.

Installing Java is very similar to Flash. You have three options: the unofficial GCJ plugin, the unofficial IcedTea plugin, and the official Sun plugin. Just run sudo apt-get install packagename, where packagename is replaced by gcjwebplugin, icedtea-gcjwebplugin, or sun-java6-plugin.

Copied the 'useful' part if you don't want to check the link.

Is there a reason you're using that browser over others?

I download the package for Linux and then use that command to refer to it and it doesn't work.

Even though I have referred to the file, it comes up with an error message that it cant find it (and yes I spelt it correctly - char for char)

root@debian:/home/treloar/Downloads# ls
flashplugin-nonfree_2.8.2_i386.deb
root@debian:/home/treloar/Downloads# apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree_2.8.2_i386.deb
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package flashplugin-nonfree_2.8.2_i386.deb
E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'flashplugin-nonfree_2.8.2_i386.deb'

I don't know how to get this to work, stumped as to why it cannot locate the package...

Edit: I managed to install flash finally, but still cannot install java due to a:
Error: Dependency is not satisfiable: sun-java6-jre (>= 6.26-0squeeze1)

Anyone know what to do?
