[SATLUG] Help With "yum.conf"

[Gabriel Doss]

Well, that URL doesn't exist. I can fine one at
http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/repodata/repomd.xml. The problem
with what you were trying to do is there is no Flash player for 64-bit
systems. The adobe-linux.repo file tells yum to look at
linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/$basearch. Your $basearch is x86_64.

Try editing your adobe-linux.repo file and replace this:
baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/$basearch/
with
baseurl=http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/linux/i386/

I cannot guarantee how stable that will be. I do not have a 64-bit version
running and have never run Flash with a 64-bit system. That should allow the
Flash plugin to install, though, as you are looking through the i386 repo to
get it, not the x86_64 repo (which doesn't exist).

Let me know how that goes.
