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
