Hi,
I appreciate it if someone could help me out to solve this problem.
I wanted to install Flash-plugin for Firefox on Fedora7. After
follwoing the instruction from Adobe.. Then yum doesn't work any
more... Does anyone out there know how to solve this?
I got this message:
Loading "installonlyn" plugin
Setting up Update Process
http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/x86_64/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno

Error: Cannot open/read repomd.xml file for repository: adobe-linux
Dunno about doing it that way, mine was installed using this method.
Worked like a champ:
I created a "/etc/yum.repos.d/macromedia-i386.repo" file, with this
inside it:
[macromedia]
name=Macromedia for i386 Linux
baseurl=http://macromedia.rediris.es/rpm/
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://macromedia.mplug.org/FEDORA-GPG-KEY
Then I did the following as a command line:
yum install flash-plugin
And that was all I had to do.
See <
http://macromedia.rediris.es/> for information. They're authorised
to provide Adobe Macromedia Flash for Fedora. Try the appropriate
mirror link near the top. The next page has more information, including
