I downloaded and installed the "swfdec-mozilla" rpm without problems. No flash however when browsing. (Not sure what this rpm does in fact).
Then I downloaded "install_flash_player_6_linux.tar.gz". When I tried to run the installer the first time, it said: "NOTE: ttfonts and urwfonts needed". So I installed "ttfonts-1.0-9.noarch.rpm" and "urw-fonts-2.0-29.noarch.rpm". When I retry the flash-installer the note about the fonts has gone. The installation completes without further messages, but still no flash in mozilla.

AND I also followed the instructions on mozdev.org (copying files to the plugins-dir etc.).
I have "libflashplayer.so", "libnullplugin.so" and a symlink to "libjavaplugin_oji.so" in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3.1/plugins, and "flashplayer.xpt" (a.o.) in /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3.1/components. And "libflashplayer.so" and "flashplayer.xpt" in /home/barting/.mozilla/plugins.
Can't think of anything else to do...
