Flash 10 on Fedora 10 x86_64

How I setup Flash on my fresh Fedora 10 x86_64 install.

Close Firefox

Change to the Firefox plugins directory:
cd /usr/lib64/mozilla/plugins/

Download the Flash plugin:
wget http://download.macromedia.com/pub/labs/flashplayer10/libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

Extract the plugin:
tar -xvzf libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

Remove the .tar.gz as you now have the plugin extracted:
rm libflashplayer-10.0.d20.7.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz

Open Firefox & you should be away!

Fedora 10!

Finally got around to upgrading to Fedora 10 this week.  I have an issue with downloading podcasts using Amarok, but other that that all is good.  Impressed.  Looking forward to playing with my new install further!
