Hi Jerome,
This sounds like a problem to me:

Focusing only on the technical aspects, if you could install Flash on
previous releases but can't on 8.2 that would be a regression bug.
Are you sure its not a matter of how you install it?
If you are sure, do you mind filing a bug (http://dev.laptop.org/)?
Put gregorio on the CC and I'll see if I can find someone to investigate it.
If you aren't comfortable with filing a bug, you can just send me the
details of exactly how you try to do the install of Flash and how you
know if fails to play. Then I can log a bug.
It may take some time to resolve this but I want to have a bug ID to
track it.
Thanks,
Greg S
PS thanks for the supportive comments on the release announcement :-)
