Flash drive refers to the media stick that frequently but not always gets connected via USB.
If I understand what you need, see this tip, which addresses iMac PPC browsing issues, which are similar to iBook notebooks:

If your computer has an older formerly-supported version
of Adobe Flash Player (for Mac PPC) and you get the
package download from Adobe archives, here: it will still
not be considered recent by some sites. But you could
(once you get the last 10.1.x from Adobe) uninstall the
older one already in the Mac using their uninstaller. Then
install the downloaded one (in same pkg as uninstaller)
so at least the rest of the Adobe Flash Player bits are
the latest ones. [Then there is a later patch to try.]

Hopefully this will help to at least get the last package from Adobe for
your vintage PPC OS X 10.5.8; I have this in my PPC G4 Macs, then I
used this other patch to make it act like a later (not latest) Flash player;
where you swap out the older Player in a certain folder, and put the later
one in its place. And save the older Player in a new folder, if it won't go.
I used this link to get the patch:

This is where it formerly had been found:

There are older web browsers that can be used, such as iCab, TenFourFox
and Seamonkey-for-PPC. The newer TenFourFox doesn't use Flash player.
This may help.
Good luck & happy computing!
