Alreet chaps..

Just wondering if anyone knows how to help me with the fc6 64bit edition...

I can't find a version of flash that works... I also am having problems installing drivers for my Nvidia geforce 4...

whenever i try to install either of these i just get an incompatible opersting system error... or something along those lines... basically telling me they won't work with 64 bit o/s...

HELP!!!

no idea what to do...

Exactly what are the commands you are using and what are your repos?

For flash,

Code:

#yum install flash-plugin

See this website for instructions on installing Flash on Fedora Core 6 64bit: The Unofficial Fedora Core 6 64bit Guide.

As for the Nvidia drivers, are you trying to install the ones from Nvidia, or the ones available in the Livna repos? Try enabling the Livna repositories, and install "kmod-nvidia" using YUM.

I hope this helps
