This install is new > enough I could start from scratch. i have a 64-bit f11 system running flash nicely: 1) get the tarball from http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html 2) unload it to get at the single libflashplayer.so file contained therein 3) as root, copy that file to /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins 4) kill and restart all firefoxes 5) browse to "about:plugins" to verify that your browser can see the flash plugin 6) surf over to youtube.com, and rock out to "we built this city" by starship. no, wait ... that last part can't be right. rday p.s. hang on ... i just checked and here's the contents of my /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins_wrapped directory: ./plugins-wrapped ./plugins-wrapped/nswrapper_64_64.libvlcplugin.so ./plugins-wrapped/nswrapper_64_64.libflashplayer.so ./plugins-wrapped/librhythmbox-itms-detection-plugin.so ./plugins-wrapped/libtotem-gmp-plugin.so ./plugins-wrapped/npwrapper.so ./plugins-wrapped/libjavaplugin.so ./plugins-wrapped/libtotem-mully-plugin.so ./plugins-wrapped/libtotem-narrowspace-plugin.so ./plugins-wrapped/libtotem-cone-plugin.so i'd never noticed that content before. do i really need that "nswrapper" stuff related to flash? i don't recall installing that, where did it come from? can i safely toss some of that? because my "about:plugins" sees *that* plugin. that's new to me, but flash still appears to work. weird. -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
