Bug Description

Binary package hint: usb-creator

This is a wishlist item:

In order to have a live system that can be used for real-world browsing (including sites like YouTube; see Linus Torvalds' comment on this topic) some users would like to have Adobe Flash on their system.

The liveusb tool includes a checkbox which, when checked, will download and integrate Flash into the live USB system. The same could be applied for other non-free but often-requested software as well.

Matt Zimmermann: "I can understand the desire to have some ability to customize the live image from usb-creator. Distribution terms should not be at issue here, because usb-creator isn't distributing software, just helping the user to create a file (right?)."

Fabian Rodriguez: "Similar situation with DVD playback, same situation with Broadcom firmware, msttcorefonts, etc., not so with codecs."

Looks like people are not seeing any legal or other blockers.
