Thank you for your thoughts.
Its an Asus eeepc netbook and from Control Center it is running ... KDE version 3.4.2 Release 2.6.21.4 - eeepc.
And yes it is to load Flash Player for the resident Firefox.
I did get something in that area with this info:
try getting the RPM from the adobe website.
http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/download/alternates/
Download it and save it to the desktop then run it with package manager. When ever possible use RPMs to install (or yum) they work 99% of the time.
also try opening a terminal session
su root <enter>
yum provides *flash* <enter>
it should give you a list and look for something
like macromediaflash.i386.rpm
then type
yum install macromediaflash.i386.rpm <enter>
and watch the fun...
yum will resolve dependencies for you automatically...
I cannot find package manager on the machine but can download any of the Adobe Flash Linux programs (.rpm etc.) from their site. Its just that then I dont know what to do. It seems .rpm files are best to use but I am no wiser. Help!
