But, as far >> as my understanding goes, that plugin can only be distributed by Google. I (we, the CentOS Project) can not distribute flash .. but this currently works (must do as the root user): 1. Exit any running chromium browsers. 2. Make and change to a temporary working directory ... I use /tmp/chrome/ mkdir /tmp/chrome/ cd /tmp/chrome/ 3. Get the latest Google Chrome rpm: wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm (that is all one line, substitute i386 for x86_64 if requried) 4. extract the RPM to the temp directory: rpm2cpio google-chrome-stable_current_x86_64.rpm | cpio -idv (that is also one line) 5. Copy the PepperFlash directory to the install location: cp -a opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/ /opt/chromium-browser/ (also all one line) 6. Test that flash is working by opening chrome and going here: http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ 7. If everything is working, delete the temp directory: rm -rf /tmp/chrome/ 8. You must redo this after every update of the Chromium RPM to ensure you have the latest flash. Thanks, Johnny Hughes
