I want to use chromium web browser and so far i have only found tutorials on how to install flash for firefox.

As far as I know,

Code:
apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree
should work on all browsers. Of course, you would need the nonfree repo enabled.

Here is the relevant page from Debian - http://wiki.debian.org/FlashPlayer

I did that but it says to insert media:

Code:

Suggested packages:

You can either put in the CD (and hit enter), or comment out the second "deb cdrom" line with a # and retry.

Ok that worked, Flash seems to be working now.

Should i just leave that cd source line commented out?

If you don't want to be prompted for that CD, then yep! Leave it commented out.

The "deb cdrom" lines are handy if you do not have a network connection, but you have the DVD's.
