How do I install Flash plugins on my Mozilla browser using Red Hat Network (RHN)?
Resolution:

If your Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 x86 system is registered with Red Hat Network (RHN), the easiest way to add Flash plugins to your Mozilla browser would be to run the following command: 

 
up2date  flash-plugin

Note: The Flash plugins are only available on the x86 RHN channels at the time of this writing.

Example output from the command would like similar to the following: 

 
# up2date  flash-plugin

Verify the Flash plugins were installed on your browser by typing the following at the URL section of your browser:

You would see something similar to the following: 

 
Shockwave Flash

    File name: libflashplayer.so
    Shockwave Flash 7.0 r25

MIME Type 	                Description 	     Suffixes Enabled
