This won't work since he is running x86_64.  The installer is too
smart.  It realizes it is running in a 64-bit OS and refuses to
install, even though it works fine with a 32-bit browser.    You can
get an RPM (which is better since Fedora is RPM based) of the flash
plugin from:
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat/4/idpl/1367214/com/flash-plugin-7.0.25-1.i386.rpm.html
