Download the yum installer from adobe website, use yum to install the repo.

Then,

CODE

yum install flash-plugin

That should work.

What is the procedure for installing the flash plugin when we are using this method of installing Firefox? I'm on SL 6.2, 64bit. Andrew.

To answer my own question:

Make sure rpmforge repos are enabled. Then as root:

QUOTE

yum install flash-plugin

Then as your own user:

QUOTE

cd ~/.mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so .

Reason is that RPMForge has the same one, but with several additional packages (for dependency reasons ). -------------------- What is SL? - Forum Rules - Info on 3rd Party Repos - How to post images - How to post large text / config files Desktop: Asus P5QPL-AM, Intel Dual-Core E6500, 4GB DDR2, Asus GeForce GT 430 1GB, SL6.4 x86_64 Test box: Intel S5000PSL, 2x Intel Xeon E5310, 8GB ECC DDR2 FB-Dimm, Asus GeForce GT 220 1GB, SL6.4 x86_64
