Or… you just go to the link that korg gave, download the .tar.gz for Linux, extract it in your home dir, pop open a terminal, navigate to that directory, and type "./install_flash_player.sh", or whatever the shell script file is. Just "Enter" all the way through, and you should be done. Restart your browser.

You don't need to install Yum for that… use Yum for more involved software packages, like DRBL.

Yeah, It's pretty simple. Looks like a google search he gave.

Yeah, does rather look like a recipe.

yum is always preinstalled all he needs to do is yum install flash-plugin

or yum install -y flash-plugin

-Y is for yes so you dont need to click yes after.

So, basically… your previous post was useless?

Nothing is ever useless. Useless is what you call people who try to make themselves seem better then others.

I added the info to install yum because it does happen that installed software can have issues. Just to be sure, I added everything he needed INCLUDING how to install yum.

If you don't like the information I post and the help I give, its simple. Just FUCK OFF.

try yum install flash-plugin if it does not work, try re-installing yum or upgrading it then try again.

Gee, not like I never heard that one before… cuz I try so hard to be better than everyone else, instead of just getting to the point and making a thread have some coherent purpose. Seriously, I should just stop trying to make myself seem better than everyone else… when they will just do it for me.

Yeah, because it's a common issue for yum to not be correctly installed in the versions of Fedora that install it by default… Shut up.

I'd like for you to quit dicking around with your help and just get to the point. Until then, no chance of me "fucking off", you goofy twat.

try yum install flash-plugin if it does not work, try installing yum or upgrading it then try again.

See, if you had written this in the first place, I wouldn't have to remind you that your words don't mean shit when you waste peoples' time. Nice little bit of profanity, though… really made your post mean more than the log I dropped in the toilet an hour ago.

Let's recap:
