Flash for F-15 -

[Bob Goodwin]

I have a new installation of F-15 and have been messing around here
    for an hour but can't seem to install Flash. I need it to download
    some crossword puzzles I work every day.

Can someone point me to installation instructions that will work?

Is your F-15 is 64bit?
If so, you can installed the flash on your with following.

# mkdir temp_flash
# cd temp_flash
# wget 
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplatformruntimes/flashplayer11/...
# tar xzvf flashplayer11_b1_install_lin_64_071311.tar.gz
# cp -ip libflashplayer.so /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins
# chown root:root /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/libflashplayer.so

Ok, that worked without a hitch once I typed everything
        correctly! I will save your instruction for next time.

Thank you,

Just out of curiosity, are there any security/vulnerability issues presented
by a root owned flash library?

The important part is the user which runs the library, not the owner of the file.
Almost all the files in /usr/bin or /usr/lib are root owned (that is, root placed
them there), but they are run by generic users.

You are probably referring to the alternative installation method of
copying the library in the plugins directory of the browser in the user home dir.
That would be a user-only installation, while the first one is a system-wide
installation. No security issue (unless, for example, you would like to avoid
having flash present in the browser of the root user).
