If you don't mind a non-free Flash player, install the Adobe one. Go to
www.adobe.com and follow the trail to the download page. Download the
Linux rpm version and install:
yum remove gnash
yum localinstall <downloaded flash-plugin rpm file>
Also, make sure you have libflashsupport. If your system is 64-bit
you'll need *both* libflashsupport.i386 and libflashsupport.x86_64.
You may want to install the Adobe repo file in /etc/yum.repos.d. That
way the Flash plugin will stay up to date.
