[Takatsugu Kobayashi]

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:

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.
