With the yum repo installed, you then need to start a terminal (Applications->System Tools->Terminal, I think -- I don't use gnome, so I am not sure), then in the terminal window you type: sudo yum -y install flash_player Assuming you are loged in as a sudo enabled user (and you really should NOT be loged in as root). Sudo will ask for a password -- enter your user's password. > > So then tried downloading the .tar.gz for linux version, and PC asks me which program to open to install it, and i don't have a clue. > > Then I try downloading the .rpm version for linux, and my pc says "/tmp/flash-plugin-10.0.22.87-release.i386.rpm is already installed", but it's still not working. > > What am I doing wrong? > > Thanks anyone. > > _________________________________________________________________ > Rediscover Hotmail®: Get e-mail storage that grows with you. > http://windowslive.com/RediscoverHotmail?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Rediscover_Storage1_042009MIME-Version: 1.0 > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS mailing list > CentOS at centos.org > http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > -- Robert Heller -- Get the Deepwoods Software FireFox Toolbar!
