    Go the the Adobe site in your browser, and download the package for your system, I assume .rpm since you're posting in the Red Hat/Fedora forum. Install the .rpm file with your package manager.

    No, thats not the way flash is installed from the tarball. Its a prebuilt package, so you just copy libflashplayer.so to somewhere like /usr/lib/firefox/plugins and you are good to go. If using an rpm based distro, then its probably better to install from an rpm package.

    Take risks: if you win, you will be happy; if you lose, you will be wise.
