I don't know where you found that,
adobe.com download flash-plugin via yum path.
but adobe doesn't seem
interested in supporting yum any longer. The best you can do
these days is go to the adobe.com site and follow the download
links for acrobat and you can get a rpm from the adobe site.
They do seem to support it for flash-plugin. Maybe becuase they
have to do security updates so frequently.
Meanwhile for acrobat I got: AdbeRdr9.5.5-1_i486linux_enu.bin
but step 3 of 3 is coming up blank. What do I do with this .bin file.
I don't believe this! I turned AdBlock off for this page, and it is
nothing but an AD!!!! No instructions on what to do with a .bin
file. I ASSuME that I move it to /bin or /sbin or some such? Where
is it safe to put?
I think the steps are:
1) Download adobe YUM repo package
(which you did: adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm)
Install YUM repo package:
# yum localinstall ./adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
This creates the YUM repo file for Adobe in:
# ls -l /etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-i386.repo
(Make sure repo is "enabled=1", use vi)
If the repo file is not there, then it is not installed.
# cat adobe-linux-i386.repo
[adobe-linux-i386]
name=Adobe Systems Incorporated
baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=file:///etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
2) List the adobe files available for installation:
# yum list | grep adobe
AdobeReader_XXX.YYY (select your language. (English, XXX=enu,
YYY=i486))
[...]
# yum list | grep adobe
adobe-release-i386.noarch 1.0-1
@/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch
flash-plugin.i386 11.2.202.332-release @adobe-linux-i386
adobe-source-code-pro-fonts.noarch 1.017-3.fc20 updates
adobe-source-libraries.i686 1.0.43-19.fc20 fedora
adobe-source-libraries-devel.i686 1.0.43-19.fc20 fedora
adobe-source-libraries-doc.i686 1.0.43-19.fc20 fedora
adobe-source-sans-pro-fonts.noarch 1.050-2.fc20 fedora
texlive-adobemapping.noarch 3:svn28079.0-3.fc20 fedora
No AdobeReader listed :(
3) Yum install AdobeReader_XXX.YYY
4) Good luck finding the Adobe Reader menu icon, but command-line
executable is:
/opt/Adobe/Reader9/Reader/intellinux/bin/acroread
Hope this helps!
