To install Adobe Flash for The Browse Activity
1. Make sure you are connected to the Internet
2. Open the "Terminal" activity 
. This is a pre-installed program found in the Activities taskbar at the bottom of your Home View. You may need to scroll through the Activities taskbar by using the right arrow icon at the bottom of your screen (
) to find the icon.
3. Then type this to install the latest working version (version 115) of Adobe Flash for the Browse Activity. Version 115 does not work with #Opera on the XO.
To retreive and install Adobe Flash type the following:
su -l wget flash90115.notlong.com rpm -i flash-plugin-9.0.115.0-release.i386.rpm exit
Note that http://flash90115.notlong.com is simply an alias for http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/current/flash-plugin-9.0.115.0-release.i386.rpm for ease of typing.
4. Check to ensure that Flash is installed properly.
Browse to the Adobe Flash Browser Version Test.
The Version should be LNX not GSH.
To uninstall
1. open the Terminal activity;
2. remove flashplayer by typing:
su -l yum remove flash-plugin-9.0.48.0-release exit
or
su -l yum remove flash-plugin-9.0.115.0-release exit
depending on the version you installed.
Advanced options
To avoid the Click to play prompt when playing flash in the browser, remove two files by typing the following in the Terminal:
su -l cd /usr/share/activities/Web.activity mkdir bak mv agent-stylesheet.css bak mv clickToView.xml bak exit
undo using Terminal:
su -l cd /usr/share/activities/Web.activity/bak cp agent-stylesheet.css .. cp clickToView.xml .. exit
Older versions of flash are available here:
http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/installers/archive/fp9_archive.zip
Information about how to load other restricted formats is found here.
Gnash
Adobe Flash has been reported to conflict sometimes with Gnash; but this has not been reproduced. If you have a site that works for you with Adobe Flash installed but not with both Adobe and Gnash installed, please describe this in detail on the talk page here (after doublechecking the version of flash your browser seems to be running).
