Good morning,
I'm now thinking that for the long term, I'm probably better off waiting
for chromium to become available in Fedora. A concern is that wikipedia
implies that code for flash-like functionality is not included in
chromium. So for the short term, I'm back to flash.
I am almost certain that 2-3 years ago, I installed flash from the adobe
web site. But it never worked. A short while ago, I tried "dnf info
flash" to see if I have it, and if so, what version. I must be
mis-understanding the dnf man page. I got this:
bash.2[~]: dnf info flash

bash.3[~]:
First, how do I determine whether or not I already have flash, and if
so, which version?
Second, If I don't already have flash, what's the best way to get the
right flash? And then what do I need to do so Firefox launches it when,
for example, I want to see a flash video in the yahoo finance web site?
(and then there's those National Weather Service RADAR loops!)
Third, what did "dnf info flash" actually do? Do I now have a bunch of
files that I should delete? If yes, where are they?
Thank-you for your help.
Bill.
(p.s. This is one of those rare cases where I wish I could change the
title or topic of this thread!)
