In my system, I have a repo file for adobe: $ cat /etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-i386.repo [adobe-linux-i386] name=Adobe Systems Incorporated baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux The last time I checked, that offered both the flash player plugin as well as the acrobat reader. In their site now, you can search "yum repository" and it does point to a repository option http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash&P2_Platform=Linux&P3_Browser_Version=Netscape4 But the fact that they have removed this from their main acrobat download page make me suspect something fishy has gone on there. -- Paul E.
