In SL 5.x, the repository is named "flash". As root, you can also do

yum install "yumex*"

to install yumex, a graphical GUI for yum, that enables you to select repositories among other things. It is a must, at least for me! :-)


A bug regarding the flash repository (which contains both the latest flash plugin and the latest acrobat reader).

As root, edit the file /etc/yum.repos.d/flash.repo and make the statement

gpgcheck=0

so as to work.


Also, after installing yumex you may edit /etc/yumex.conf and make

autorefresh = 0

This is also a must for me too!


The above will help you manage packages effectively.
