if it helps anyone else,
i just went into debian.org, searched for the flashplugin-nonfree package
downloaded it and

dpkg -i 'packagename'.deb
and voila! finally...
it's not easy getting into distros not quite as popular as ubuntu / suse / fedora
specially with iceweaselly stuff, hehe
but hey, it works, it's different
and lastly
