try to install GNASH - correction

[Derick Centeno]

Apologies Sacarde, but could you be more specific?

Do you mean who are the developers of gnash?  If that is what you mean
just use google. Once you find their website I'm sure that instructions
for regarding how to use gnash is there.

I'm afraid that further guessing of your meaning would not be
productive.

I can state that after I installed gnash via yum, I saw little
difference regarding how Firefox performed.  In other terms, Firefox
still cannot process or use standard Flash sites within Linux or YDL.
I did notice that gnash did make an attempt to understand a standard
Flash application at one website by creating several tabs... that's all
it did.  To me, that means that gnash is not being recognized or
accepted by standard Flash.  It may also mean that Adobe has embedded
code so that Flash recognizes only Adobe compiled code.

We may just have to wait until Adobe itself decides to create an open
source version of Flash which Linux running on ppc computers can use.
Adobe as a company has allowed however a petition which people can sign
asking Adobe to produce a version of Flash for Linux running on ppc
systems.  The petition is here:

http://www.petitiononline.com/fla4lppc/petition.html

At my last count, all the people who signed barely number 4,000.  I'm
not sure, at what number Adobe will consider using it's resources to do
what we wish for, but in comparison to other users of other systems
utilizing their Flash and other software ... 4,000 is equivalent to a
few drops of water accumulated into an empty bucket.

By the way, the reason the petition is addressed to Macromedia is
because Macromedia developed Flash originally.  Then Adobe bought them,
which means this petition has been around a very long time.

The attempt by others to create an open source version of Flash is
admirable, but we may all have to continue waiting for Adobe itself to
volunteer to make the effort.  On the bright side, many companies
contribute open source code.  The decision to do so always took time,
in my view.

Although I'm hopeful for the best outcome, it's necessary to engage
with Life's other demands and enticements.

Good Luck...
