The original instructions for Adobe Flash installation allowed for a local user installation as an alternative to the system installation. An advantage of a local user installation is it doesn't not have to be re-installed after a standard upgrade. A disadvantage is that Gnash, a system installation, seemed to override the Flash installation in Browse. [[User:Katie|Katie]] 06:09, 5 January 2008 (EST) |

Can't get it to work
These instructions didn't seem to work - Gnash is still used on all Flash webpages. For those of us who do not know how to replace gnash with flash, a quick note from an expert would be greatly appreciated.

run as root
That command didn't work for me either. Running 'sudo' just gives an error. I'm no unix expert, so I think there is a way to do it with one line like he was trying to say. But I was able to get it to work this way:
su - root
then type this
rpm -i http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/flash-plugin-9.0.115.0-release.i386.rpm
Forcing Adobe Flash to run in "low-quality" mode by default
Many G1G1 users who have installed Adobe Flash report improved performance with this edit to the flash binary, which forces the plugin to run in "low-quality" mode by default.
cp libflashplayer.so libflashplayer.so.bak && sed -i 's/HIGH/LOW/g' libflashplayer.so && sed -i 's/LOW/HIGH/' libflashplayer.so
