That is not a distribution.

I own no DVDs of any sort. I have no need for them. I suspect he doesn't
either.

Description: free Flash movie player
Gnash is a free Flash movie player, which works either standalone, or as
plugin for Firefox/Mozilla or Konqueror. Currently it is in a alpha state.
The plugins are under heavy development at this time.
.
Gnash supports the majority of Flash opcodes up to SWF version 7, and
a wide sampling of ActionScript classes for SWF version 8.5. All the
core ones are implemented, and many of the newer ones work, but may be
missing some of their methods.
.
Included in the Gnash is an XML based messaging system, as specified in
the Flash specification. This lets a flash movie communicate over a TCP/IP
socket, and parse the incoming XML message. This lets a movie be a remote
control for other devices or applications.
.
This package includes the standalone GTK+-based OpenGL player.
