Hi. Sorry, I've lost the original post to this Flashplayer on FC5 problem.
I have no such problems with Flashplayer and Firefox.
Firefox version 1.5.0.3-1.1.fc5 (from latest FC5 updates)

Kernel: 2.6.16-1.2080.13.rrt.rhfc5.ccrma  (from planetccrma)

Extra Alsa packages are all from planetccrma, including "alsa-oss" the alsa

emulation layer for OSS.

Flash tried on http://laracameron.com/main.html  . Some of her stuff needs

Flash, including sounds, and it works ok.
My Flashplayer install.
I have Apt installed, and added to /etc/apt/sources.list

rpm http://macromedia.mplug.org/ rpm macromedia
I could not find  a GPG key for it on their site, so after DL'ing the

flash-plugin using Synaptic, you have to uncheck the verify signature box

otherwise it won't install.
Then ran (as root) /usr/lib/flash-plugin/setup, and the Flashplayer just

worked with Firefox, and no problems.
I can't say much more, as it just seems to work,
Nigel.
