Can you see the Volcano eruption on Iceland there? Here we cannot fly because of the Volcano ashes.
I'll give it a try....
Edit:
I get couldn't write the application (Adobe Air) to Harddisk..

Did you give it the root password when it asked for it?

How rude. I was never asked.

Strange. I was. It will come up in kind of a "mini-terminal"... but it's behind the other windows.

Mine's running fine; just need to get another gig of ram though... Won't be easy 'cause this is like, PC-26xx-er-something-ancient-as-hell-that-they-don't-sell-any-more-ram on this thing.

Tried to install on Fedora 13 - got the infamous "Adobe flash plugin has crashed" window. Adobe's pissing off a lot of people with that thing lately. Tried again, this time I got it.
