    Please Help, having serious problems installing Flash Player & Java

    Okay, I'm a complete uber noober when it comes to fedora, I've only had it on my laptop for a few days and I barely know the basics.

    Something that's really been annoying me is thhe fact that it seems to be next to impossible for me to install Adobe Flash Player or Java. When I download Java, I get a binary file and I don't know what to do with it, and when I try to install Flash Player I get an error about a signature 'm' or something like that. It's really frustrating because I can't view Youtube or lots of other sites properly.

    Any help would be great appreciated.

    Thanks in advance

    Also, it's Fedora 10 KDE... or something like that.

    Hi and welcome. This guide should help you install flash and a java plugin for Fedora. Or you can try this one as well.

    I tried both links provided, tried both methods, got the 'Complete' message, but it's still not working

    Are you using Firefox as a browser? If you, type about:plugins in the address bar. What does it say?

    I've found this to be an almost flawless guide to many Fedora installation questions. Oh, I still can't post URLs. Google "mjmwired Fedora 10".
