Hi, The problem is that adobe has stop the support for older Linux distributions.And SL 4.6. is an "old" distribution. Are there any reasons why you use SL 4.6 and not the newer SL 5.5?

You can still google for old flash-plugin rpms and install them. For example have a look at http://packages.sw.be/flash-plugin/ There is one for RHEL4 and CentOS-4 x86 32bit which should work on SL 4.6. http://packages.sw.be/flash-plugin/flash-plugin-9.0.152.0-1.el4.rf.i386.rpm I don't have a SL4 system at the moment to test. The rpm comes from DAG repo, so yum --enablerepo=dag install flash-plugin may work. Please note, the 9.0.152 version of flash-plugin is an old one and as a lot of security problems! Flash-plugin is not open source and the only one who can fix it is Adobe. Hope this helps,     Urs
