The way I installed flash player was to download it from Adobe.com website then install it with... rpm -ivh flash-plugin-9.0.48.0-release* then run the program... /usr/lib/flash-plugin/setup or manually... ln -s /usr/lib/flash-plugin/libflashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins restart firefox...good to go There may be an easier way that I don't know Craig
