If you for some reason need a working flash player in a browser, use
opera and macromedia's Linux flash plug-in.
get these packages from your neighborhood mirror
redhat_base*
redhat_motif*
next install ports/www/opera (no package)
(this will build redhat_base itself but it has to source loads of shit
from everywhere and getting the package is quicker, also it won't
install motif which you need for flash)
Download Flash player 7 for mozilla 1.2 linux x86 from
http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/alternates/
Untar and copy the .so and .xft to /usr/local/lib/opera/plugins (don't
untar in /usr/local/lib/opera this makes opera segfault)
Flash should work in opera now, go to about:plugins to be sure.
Also when you first run opera it will ask if you want random graphical
ads or targeted text ads. I'd pick random graphical, don't particularly
like the URLs of what page I'm viewing being sent to google all the
time.
