./flashplayer-installer doesn't work? What error are you receiving?

get the latest flashplayer rpm from macromedia's official website and just install it..

rpm -ivh flashpkg.rpm

"unknown plugin (application /x-shockwave-flash)"
I'm clueless about manual installs any help or directions to a walk thru guide much apreciated

So you're getting errors when you try to view flash content in your web browser, not when you're trying to install flashplayer itself? crash_override_me gave you the solution.

The browser asks me to install flash player to view content, when i click on the download & install icon i get the message i quoted earlier.
if i need to install the plugin manually i could do with a few poimters cuz i was never that good at manual installs
