Hi,

I'm having trouble getting the flash player installed onto my centos desktop.

When i go to the adobe site, I click on the YUM for Linux version, then install it, and PC says "/tmp/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch-1.rpm is already installed" - but it's not working.

I had a hell of a time getting it work on my x86_64 desktop when FireFox 3 was released.

Then I found out about an experimental x86_64 plugin -

http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html

No pretty installer, just a plugin. Put it in /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/ (and get rid of any others) and restart firefox.

Are you by chance on x86_64?
