Worked perfectly on FC12 64

Fantastic stuff you are doing dnmouse. Thank you!

My only wish is that by installing Flash, it did not also install Adobe Reader. Or am I doing something wrong? I find that the default FC pdf readers meet my needs, and would rather not install Adobe readers.

Cheers,

[Dave]

Hi and welcome to the forum

Yes flash is a pain, adobereader is not what i have included in autoten, but flash sometimes pulls it in as a dependencie, guess its adobe 's way of forcing it on you

Dave

Code: Select all

su
yum remove AdobeReader*

[Frankly3D]

Successfully tested on F13/F14.
Autoten didn't complain about fedora-release*12

[Dave]

Thanks for testing it, that is handy to know and by the way Welcome to the forum

Is there a reason why the english version of adobe reader is not installed instead of what ever language the sve_ version is? Even though this version gives the option to display in that language and english still the en_ version would be better to link i think

ALso there is a 64bit flash plugin now for Linux so you might be able to set it up so it does not need all those 32bit packages when you install flash on 64bit
