Installing the Adobe Flash 9 plugin on Fedora 8

Problem:

How do I view flash content in the web browser under Fedora 8?

Solution:

Assuming you have a standard Fedora 8 installation with updates, executing the following as root should work:

# wget -c http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
# rpm -ivh adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
# yum install libflashsupport.x86_64
# yum install libflashsupport.i386
# yum install flash-plugin

Make sure your browser is closed before installation.
