Hello, I downloaded adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm. Adobe instructions for Yum say in root terminal go to Desktop and type rpm -Uvh <rpm_package_file>. I tried this but I get an error message about a syntax error. How can I install Adobe in my Firefox 4? Also, instructions say to go to Help and click on About Plug-ins to verify if plugin is installed-but when I go to Help there is no About Plug-ins-Now what? Thanks, Larry

You can try to double click that file in the Fie Manager (Nautilus) to see if there is a default action for RPM files to install via the software management of your Linux distribution.
