    Need advice how to install Flashplayer 10 plugin to root folder

    A number of internet sites require Flashplayer 10. I have Kubuntu alpha 5, 64 bit. The Flashplayer plug-in (libflashplayer.so) goes to /usr/lib64 which is root protected so I can't just drop it in. How is this done in the terminal? Is it kdesudo install libflashplayer.so to /usr/lib64 or something like that?
    Thanks

    Perhaps
    sudo apt-get flashvideo-nonfree
    may work, if it is in the repository you are using.

      The actual package name is flashplugin-nonfree, so
      sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
      will work. At least it did for me.
