PT; I logged in as root, got no response:
$ su -
Password:
[root@n ~]# echo $path

I went back as Teckk suggested and re-ran that command: # sudo ln -s /usr/lib/flashplayer.so /usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/plugins/libflashplayer.so
ln: creating symbolic link `/usr/lib/firefox-3.0.3/plugins/libflashplayer.so': No such file or directory

I'm going to do a back-up then try upgrading to hopefully fedora 10, will ley y'all know how it comes out. (If I can get back on line,;-)

Thanks

Linux commands (and most other things in Linux-land) are case-sensitive. So echo $path is not echo $PATH.

When we suggest command input, we usually mean exactly what we type. I notice that you confused ln with in before, which (my apologies ) I didn't notice. (So forget all my angst about failed installation. Again, sorry. ) I've changed to a serif font so such things are easier to see. (I prefer the cleaner look of sans serif, but I guess clarity is better than clean.)

Usually you can highlight a suggested command, copy it with a <ctrl>-c, and paste it into your terminal window with a <shift>-<insert>. (Not the Windows standard <ctrl>-v -- the <shift>-<insert> is, I believe, one of the few Motif standards that were not copied into the Windows OS. )

By the way, have you noticed the clipboard tool that lets you select which of the last several (5, I think, is the default) "copy" results your next "paste" will use?

I realize it has been a while since my last post made it thru. I tried to post letting you guys know my plans. I have tried to fully update fc8, upgrade to fc9, then tried to go to fc10 (I know going around the globe to get across the street). My system is in worse shape now than when I began.

I have resurrected my old box to get back online and dl some more files, and catch up on my e-mail. Anyway I felt the need to re-iterate my thanks to you fellows (since previous ones did not get thru, so THANKS, I really appreciate that you took the time to converse about these troubles. Once I get the newer box up I may need some help tweaking it.

Installing Flash Player on Mozilla in Fedora is much more simple that it seems at first.

First download the .tar.gz from adobe site. Suposing that you have the downloaded file in /home/user/Downloads/, and the version of the flash player is 10: close all the firefox processes, open a console and then type

cd /home/user/Downloads/
tar -xvzf install_flash_player_10_linux.tar.gz
cp ./install_flash_player_10_linux/* /home/user/.mozilla/plugins/
cp ./install_flash_player_10_linux/* /usr/lib/mozilla/

Start mozilla and go to some site with flash to see that it's working fine.

That's all.
