Hi Gregory:

Flash, as you know, is Adobe's product which they've not seen fit (for whatever
reason, despite however many signatures they've collected) to produce a version
which will run within the PowerPC architecture.  However, there does exist an
open source version of Flash, called Gnash which is available and works within
YDL.  In my experience with it; it allows some flash programs to work.  

In my view, something is better than nothing.  It depends of course on your
needs.  If you are interested in installing it just do:

#yum install "*gnash*"

Good luck...
