-Flash 10 SCE creation script from forum member nitram. The script will check to ensure system uses older non-SSE2 processor, otherwise import and run ''getFlash11'' from the dCore repository. This script installs the last known working Flash version for these older processors. It creates a flash10.sce in the /sce directory and requests user permission to add flash to sceboot.lst. As Adobe no longer provides security updates for this old Flash version, this script can safely be deleted once the Flash extension has been created.+This Flash 10 SCE creation script checks if using an older non-SSE2 processor (otherwise import ''getFlash11''), imports the last known working Flash 10 version for older processors, creates an /sce/flash10.sce and requests permission to add flash10.sce to sceboot.lst. Future update checks not required, as Adobe no longer supports Flash 10.
  
-As mentioned during the script run, +Though never having personally experienced any issues running Flash 10 for several years, use at own risk. Flash is proprietary and security issues are well documented. Only run Flash as a last resort, numerous alternatives available: 
 +  *SMPlayer streams URLs with better performance on old hardware, works on youtube.com and many other sites. 
 +  *youtube-dl is excellent for downloading videos from many sites, play locally with a media player. 
 +  *Firefox add-ons are available to download videos from sites if not fond of youtube-dl. 
 +  *Many websites now use html5, run system without Flash, it may not be missed!
  
-last tested May 2016 on dCore-jessie running Iceweasel.+If Flash 10 is utilized recommend: 
 +  *Firefox -> Addons -> Ask to Activate instead of 'Always Activate'. 
 +  *Use NoScript or a Flash block add-on during majority of browsing. 
 + 
 +The script was created for practice and worked well, last test May 2016 on dCore-jessie running Iceweasel. 
 + 
 +Even though I (nitram) no longer use Flash, rather than delete sharing the script with others :)
