flash in fc9 x86_64 using nspluginwrapper in 64 bit firefox

to have flash working in linux, firefox 32 bit had to be installed. But, nspluginwrapper solves this problem by mapping 32-bit drivers to 64-bit ones. here is a way to install flash for fedora core 9:



# rpm -ivh http://linuxdownload.adobe.com/adobe-release/adobe-release-i386-1.0-1.noarch.rpm
# rpm --import /etc/pki/rpm-gpg/RPM-GPG-KEY-adobe-linux
# mkdir -p /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
# yum install nspluginwrapper.{i386,x86_64} pulseaudio-lib.i386
# yum install flash-plugin
# mozilla-plugin-config -i -g -v

I have attempted to install Flash-Player several times on FC9-X86_64 Linux. I have been denied many times. Your short set of instructions did the trick very pain free. Thanks,
