It appears you have the flash plugin installed from some other source. That is what "nothing to do" means. You could do a "yum -y remove flash-plugin" as root. Then be sure the macromedia repository is configured and enabled as suggested and as root do a yum -y install flash-plugin? -- Stanton Finley http://stanton-finley.net/
