Thanks for the prompt answer Adam,

I already had f8 installed as well as fc-4 & sctl.conf set to 2.6.16. I
tried installing flash but here's what I get.

"The current linux-f8-flashplugin10 spews out:
===> linux-flashplugin-10.0r22 bsd.linux-apps.mk test failed: The
component nss is not defined for LINUX_DIST_SUFFIX= (the corresponding
variable nss_FILE is not defined).
*** Error code 1"

linux_base-fc-4-14 was installed as a dependency by some other program.
What happens if I remofe it?
