Dotan, Stanton Finlay wrote an excellent guide for FC5, which works equally
well with FC6.  I used his method and found it totally trouble-free.

Thanks, Anne. I am familiar with Stanton's page: it's the second
bookmark in my Fedora folder. Stanton recommends using yum to install
the flash-plugin from the Macromedia repository. I did that, as
mentined in the email quoted above. However, Flash persists to elude
me.
