flash player installation help Red Hat linux
I am trying to install flash player for Firefox in Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS release 4 (Nahant Update 5). I downloaded the rpm, and ran the command:
[root@localhost Desktop]# rpm -Uvh adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
warning: adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm: V3 DSA signature: NOKEY, key ID f6777c67
Preparing... ########################################### [100%]
1:adobe-release-i386 ########################################### [100%]
To me this seems to have completed the install. However in the Adobe instructions:
- Installation instructions for .rpm
-
- Click the download link to begin installation. A dialog box will appear asking you where to save the file.
- Save the .rpm file to your desktop and wait for the file to download completely.
- In terminal, navigate to the desktop and type # rpm -Uvh <rpm_package_file>. Click Enter. (Note: This must be done as a root user). The installer will instruct you to shut down your browser(s).
- Once the installation is complete, the plug-in will be installed in your Mozilla browser. To verify, launch Mozilla and choose Help > About Plug-ins from the browser menu.

I was never prompted to restart my browser and the flash player is still not installed for firefox even when i restarted manually. I am running as the root user.
