Hi, all.
Following the instructions on Yolinux, I uninstalled from my x86-64 (rpm -e) both firefox and mozplugger, and then I installed both 32 bit counterparts. Problem is, Firefox's "about" keeps saying x86-64, thus Flash player installer refuses to install. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,

Mariano, Download it from http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/download.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash
# tar -zxvf install_flash_player # cd install_flash_player_7_linux [olivares@localhost install_flash_player_7_linux]$ ls flashplayer-installer libflashplayer.so Readme.txt flashplayer.xpt Readme.htm [olivares@localhost install_flash_player_7_linux]$./flashplayer-installer
Should install it for you. If it doesn't then hopefully someone else can help you.
Hope it helps,
Antonio
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

Jon,
Thank you very much. I have a flash-enabled Firefox browser now. Now, would the rpm work if I had the x86-64 version of the browser? Remember that I replaced with the 32 bit version.
Thanks again!
Mariano
