Zip is usually used by Windows. Linux uses .rpm, .tar.gz, and a few others, but rarely just plain ol' .zip.
Go here to download the latest version. The page should recognize that you're running Linux. If not, click "Choose another operating system...." http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/?promoid=BUIGP This is the 32-bit version. There is no 64-bit version anymore. So, if your Fedora 11 is 64-bit, you'll have to wrap the 32-bit version with nspluginwrapper. Or install a 32-bit browser. Or find someone who still has the old 64-bit one (10.0.45 Alpha was the last, IIRC), but it has a major security hole. However, I've been using it since its release back in February of this year on my 64-bit F12, and have had no incidents of viruses or trojans, etc. B -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
