I am having a hell of a time getting adobe flash to work on a recent 5.2 install.

I notice you said in another post that shockwave came default. Here too I guess. But when I test at the site Lanny referenced, it fails for me too. When I try to download, it says I'm not supported. I just wondered if your shockwave works.
I believe, but am not positive, from some reading on the Adobe site, that one of their viewers also contains the other one. So, I suspect that the one it says is not available for your box or mine is included in the one that we do have installed and running.

My setup is "box stock" for this stuff, so I don't think you should need to mess with tarballs, source, betas, etc.
So is my box and messing with tarballs, etc., when it is not necessary, and it is not necessary in this case; is *strongly* discouraged by the CentOS developers and very knowledgeable people on this list. Explained in the Support documentation (Wiki) on centos.org
Bill: Do you remember if there is a command one needs to use, to get the plugin to work? I'm not sure if I had to do that for Flash or another Firefox Plugin or if it was for something else.
