Wanting to listen to magnatune.com while I worked, I discovered that flash is not working. It appears that I don't have libflashplayer, but yum tells me that no such package is available. I must need a different repo, I think, but what? Currently I have
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/ adobe-linux-i386.repo epel-testing.repo CentOS-Base.repo kbsingh-CentOS-Extras.repo CentOS-Media.repo mirrors-rpmforge epel.repo rpmforge.repo
I suspect that c5-media repo is discontinued. I've seen no error messages apart from 'No package libflashplayer available.' In theory I have installed the adobe flash-player, but apparently not. I'm stuck. Any help, please?

Personally I go here
http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
get the YUM for linux package install it then
I have -
[adobe-linux-i386] name=Adobe Systems Incorporated baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
yum install flash-player
then all my flash needs are met.
No package flash-player available. Nothing to do
<sigh>
Anne
Sorry its yum install flash-plugin
NP :-) It's just unfortunate that the googling led me to a link which gave the wrong information. Once you start down a bad road things just go from bad to worse. Anyway, it's working now. Thanks for trying to help.
