Unfortunately, there is no official Adobe Flash for PowerPC Linux. :(

But - there are two open-source programs that are Flash compatible: gnash and swfdec

However - the versions of Gnash & swfdec that are available for YDL 6.0 don't work with YouTube. :(

And - you can't compile the latest version of swfdec on a stock YDL 6.0 machine without updating a large number of libraries.

There is a user who has developed a method for safely compiling a new version of swfdec. However - this is pretty advanced stuff:

I'd be careful with this - warning!!! :)

Cheers,
Paul
