Hi,
I appreciate it if someone could help me out to solve this problem.
I wanted to install Flash-plugin for Firefox on Fedora7. After follwoing the instruction from Adobe.. Then yum doesn't work any more... Does anyone out there know how to solve this?
I got this message:
Loading "installonlyn" plugin Setting up Update Process http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Date: Thu, 12 Jul 2007 00:37:38 GMT Server: Apache Transfer-Encoding: chunked Content-Type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Trying other mirror. Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: adobe-linux

Dunno about doing it that way, mine was installed using this method. Worked like a champ:
I created a "/etc/yum.repos.d/macromedia-i386.repo" file, with this inside it:
[macromedia] name=Macromedia for i386 Linux baseurl=http://macromedia.rediris.es/rpm/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=http://macromedia.mplug.org/FEDORA-GPG-KEY
Then I did the following as a command line: yum install flash-plugin
And that was all I had to do.
See http://macromedia.rediris.es/ for information. They're authorised to provide Adobe Macromedia Flash for Fedora. Try the appropriate mirror link near the top. The next page has more information, including a FAQ page.

Or can also go the below URL, go to Option #3, and download the yum repo rpm. Install it, and your ready to use yum to install. yum install flash or yum install flash-plugin (I think 2nd one is correct).

Thanks.
I tried Option #3, but it did not work... I have been thinking and readoing "A practical guide to RH Linux" for help. It is fun to learn linux though.
I got this message:

I should change repos?
Thank you!

HTTP Error 404 is file not found. Try putting that url in your browser, it doesn't work.
I would guess that Adobe still hasn't release an x86_64 plugin, therefore doesn't have an x86_64 repo. If you are using a 32-bit browser, changing the repo file to make the URL i386 it will probably work.

I downloaded and installed from option #3 with no problems. Did you click on the "Download .rpm file" link at the bottom of Option #3 and install that? I did and it updated my flash with no problems.
Try it again and if it doesn't succeed, post the results of what is failing so we can take a look.
