Just FYI, the RPMs may not be available on-line anymore, but inside the ZIP archive "fp9_archive.zip" found under "Archived Flash Players" on the Adobe web site here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/142/tn_14266.html there are files "flashplayer9r###_linux.tar.gz" where version "###" is one of 31, 115, 124, 151, 152, or 159. (It may be worth noting the fast version 9 results Keith reported were with version 9r124, so use later releases at your own risk :-) Hope this helps, -- Jim P.S. Might anyone know of an on-line source for Flash v9r### RPMs ?
