Thanks,

Hello!

hmmm...I think you installed mozilla 1.2.1 with the RH installation. Am I wright?
type this ls /usr/lib | grep mozilla. There should be another folder, something like mozilla-1.2.1. When you run the flashplayer installation use /usr/lib/mozilla-1.2.1 or the folder that's similar to this. That should look then like this:
You have to run the installer as root for the system wide installation of flashplayer.

Hope this helped!

Boby
