Greetings,
If you have adobe-release-x86_64-1.0-1.noarch.rpm installed, you should
have something like the following in /etc/yum.repo.d/adobe-linux-x86_64.repo:
[adobe-linux-x86_64]
name=Adobe Systems Incorporated
baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
if enabled=1 is set, then:
yum install "flash*"
will get you flash-plugin.x86_64. Otherwise, you can use:
yum --enablerepo=adobe-linux-x86_64 install "flash*"
root}> yum search flash
Loaded plugins: kernel-module
================= Matched: flash ======================================
openoffice.org-graphicfilter.x86_64 : Extra graphic filters for openoffice.org
flash-plugin.i386 : Adobe Flash Player 11.2
flash-plugin.x86_64 : Adobe Flash Player 11.2
tvflash.x86_64 : Tool to manage Mellanox HCA firmware flash memory
Hope this helps,
doug

Confusion will be my epitaph. As I crawl a cracked and broken path.
If we make it, we can all sit back and laugh.
But I fear tomorrow I'll be crying. Yes I fear tomorrow I'll be crying.
