I could not find the flash-plugin-7.0.63-1 in any of the repos. So I went to http://macromedia.mplug.org/ and found I could download the Fedora rpm. On the web-page it says to put the rpm in the /etc/yum.repo.d directory and then run: yum install flash-plugin. Well that seemed strange but I gave it a shot and it did not work. Is it supposed to work? In the end I installed the rpm the old fashioned way using rpm -Uvh -- ======================================================================= Humor in the Court: Q: Could you see him from where you were standing?
