Hey folks, you can access the official Macromedia Flash plugin RPM from
the site below, also available is the urpmi repository for convenience.
Please e-mail me directly for the following two reasons:
* If you want any Mandrake specific changes to the package made. I
think I thoroughly tested this package to work without problems on
Mandrake, but I may have missed some corner cases.
* If you want to include this package in MandrakeClub (approval from
Macromedia would be needed, but I can probably get that for you easily
as long as Mandrake sends me download counts nightly.

Thursday (12/12/2002) Macromedia released Flash 6 for Linux x86. I
have obtained permission from Macromedia to redistribute their plugin
in Linux friendly ways. At this site there are RPM packages for
Red Hat, Mandrake, SuSE and Conectiva, with convenient apt-get and
urpmi repositories for optional automated installation/updates.
Gentoo and Debian users can use their normal apt/emerge to install
the plugin. Read the site for more details.
This plugin seems to be stable in all instances, even with LTSP
remote X which for nearly 2 years was broken with Linux Flash 5.
Finally Linux has a stable native Flash plugin, something very
necessary for mass market acceptance of Linux as a desktop.
Thanks,
Warren Togami
