OK, Im sure this has been covered a dozen times, but my scans of the

I just recently brought up F14 on one machine.
Netscape is there, but when I go to watch a video from Netscape it tells
me
This CNN feature is optimized for
Adobe Flash Player version 10.1 or higher.
I push the buttons as requested, and Flash seems to be LOADED, but
not connected to Netscape. What do I do??? I remember a screen where
you had to set these things 'on' in a previous Netscape, but cant find
that screen in the current one.
Thanks in advance.
May I suggest going to Adobe's download site and installing their repo.
Then it's just a matter of yum install flash. That way you will be
notified of any flash security issues whenever Adobe updates their rpm
packages. Hardly a month goes by without a new security issue being
found in Flash.
If I were you, I would consider upgrading your system. F14 reached End
Of Life back about December 2011. F14 will not get any more security or
bug fixes.
If you are reluctant to upgrade to F15/16/17 to avoid dealing with Gnome
3 teething pains then consider a different distribution. Scientific
Linux and CentOS are both based on RHEL which is itself based on Fedora.
Both SL6.2 and Cos6.2 still use the Gnome 2 interface because RHEL 6.2
uses it.
Another side benefit to moving to an RHEL based distribution is that
they have a 10 year support window instead of the Fedora 18 month
window. By the time they reach EOL Gnome 3 should have figured out all
the bugs and "features" that are an issue at the moment.
Fedora is awesome, for what it is, which is a test and development bed
for RHEL. If you don't need bleeding edge software or if you require a
more stable platform over time then Fedora probably isn't your best
choice. I've been using Red Hat Linux since when you had to install it
from a stack of floppy disks because CD drives had not been invented
yet. First Red Hat up to RH9 when they stopped releasing install CDs,
then Fedora up to F14, and now CentOS 6.2.
YMMV
