I believe if you go to permissive mode you will be able to install it. usr/sbin/setenforce 0 IIRC you do need to ensure that flashplayer.xpt and libflashplayer.so are either installed in ~/.mozilla/plugins or /usr/lib/firefox?.?.?.? (latest installed version)/plugins/ or that they are symlinked there. there is a further problem caused by the move to Xorg 7 that causes some audio problems, but we'll save that until you get the player installed!
