If there is anyone out there that can help me install adobe flash player - I really would appreciate it. I have Fedora 7.I have this folder on my desktop - /home/bunjee/Desktop/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm. I also have this folder on my desktop - /home/bunjee/Desktop/install_flash_player_9_linux.tar.gz I have been trying to install this software for about a month now - very frustrating. I specifically go to weather.com & it asks me to install missing plugins. Please help me. I am very new to Linux - so I need very specific instructions. Thanx Danny J.
