Adding Macromedia Flash to Fedora Core 6

Macromedia Flash Player 9 for x86 Linux YUM,
===================================

This site makes available APT and YUM enabled repositories for RPM based
Linux distributions.

Overview

How to Use YUM
Add this file to /etc/yum.repos.d/ then run

yum install flash-plugin

Method

First create a file in /etc/yum.repos.d/ . I have created a file called fedora.restricted.repo which contains all the yum links to third party and resticted format applications such as Sun Java, Codecs and Macromedia.Add the following lines:

[macromedia]
name=Macromedia for i386 Linux
baseurl=http://macromedia.rediris.es/rpm/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://macromedia.mplug.org/FEDORA-GPG-KEY

This repository will be seached when you next run yum (the "Yellowdog Updater Modified".

Now all you have to do is run the following command
[root@xena]# yum install flash-plugin
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
