It would be nice to have the flash plugin as a standrd plugin for firefox on DSL. That would make using DSL cdrom easier on web site that use flash for other things than ad.

I belive it's not included in DSL cd because:
- Macromedia distributes it with an agreement that denyes it to be included in any operating system.
- It takes about 2 megs of space uncompressed. Even if it was compressed DSL team would have to remove many other software from DSL cd to make space for it..

There might be a possibility to add opensource flash plugin to DSL. But that is not up to me. ;)
