Get Chrome
Download rpm here
32 bit .rpm (For Fedora/openSUSE)
OR
64 bit .rpm (For Fedora/openSUSE)
Install Chrome
Go to the directory where the file was downloaded and install the rpm:
rpm -ivh google-chrome-beta_current_i386.rpm
OR
rpm -ivh google-chrome-beta_current_x86_64.rpm
Get Flash
Download rpm from here
Step 1 of 2
Select an operating system:
Linux
Step 2 of 2
Select version to download:
Flash Player 10 for Linux (.rpm)
Install Flash
Go to the directory where the file was downloaded and install the rpm:
rpm -ivh flash-plugin-10.0.45.2-release.i386.rpm
Get the Browser Flash Plugin:
For 32 bit OS, when you install Flash player it automatically installs the Flash plugin for Firefox, which can be reused for Chrome.
For 64 bit OS, you can get the Browser Flash plugin here
Install the Browser Flash plugin for Chrome:
For 32 bit OS, you can just copy libflashplayer.so from /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/ to /opt/google/chrome/plugins directory (You might need to create a plugins directory if its not already present).
mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins
cp /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/plugins
For 64 bit OS, extract the contents of libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz:
tar -xvzf libflashplayer-10.0.45.2.linux-x86_64.so.tar.gz
Copy the file libflashplayer.so to /opt/google/chrome/plugins directory (You might need to create a plugins directory if its not already present).
mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins
cp libflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/plugins
Start Chrome from terminal:
Close all windows of your Chrome browser.
Go to the directory /opt/google/chrome and start chrome from terminal:
google-chrome –enable-plugins
That’s it… we are done… you can confirm the installation by typing about:plugins in the address bar.
It should list Shockwave Flash.
Great!
This how-to has worked on my all-64bit Fedora 12 + official Chrome installation.
Thanks

I dont usually comment, but after reading through so much info I had to say thankyou
*sighs* So disappointed with Linux. After 10 years, you still have to install basically commonplace software from the command-line by copying stuff around. This is what I had to do in 2001 when I first started using Linux, and you still have to do it.
The trouble of replacing all the F/OSS crapware with Official Software (Sun/Oracle JVM, Adobe Flash, Adobe Acrobat Reader, etc.) is just made too hard. On a Windows Machine I just uninstall the crap, but on Linux it’s almost like setting up a damn enterprise server, just to get a desktop machine working without all the forked crap on it.
Only way to get a decent desktop is to pony up for a RHEL subscription and build off of that, but those Enterprise Distros tend to let their packages stagnate too long (even after something like Firefox releases a new stable version, etc.).
took me about a week to get this right … turns out I had an libflashplayer.so in the /opt/google/chrom root folder and it was conflicting with the one in the plugins folder …. ty for the steps … wouldn’t have seen this otherwise!
great link

If you are facing the problem to install the GOOGLE CHROME, Flash Player with plugin then don’t you worry now….
Error Resolving for the installation of Google chrome on Fedora 14/64 bit
At the installation you must face this error
Error message
lsb >= 3.2 is needed by google-chrome-stable-8.0.552.237-70801.x86_64
So don’t you worry & do the following action….
Enable Google YUM repository, for this purpose
Make a file on the desktop having this name google.repo & into this file copy & paste the following…
[google64]
name=Google – x86_64
baseurl=http://dl.google.com/linux/rpm/stable/x86_64
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=https://dl-ssl.google.com/linux/linux_signing_key.pub
After the saving of file copy this file into this directory /etc/yum.repos.d/ using this command:
cp google.repo /etc/yum.repos.d/
Install Google Chrome with YUM (as root user in the terminal) using this command…
yum install google-chrome-stable
After the installation of the browser, Get the Flash Player plugins using this URL
http://www.mediafire.com/?22h5xmkynmg
Navigate your terminal in that directory where the file is downloaded,
The downloaded file would be in the ( .tar.gz ) format so untar this file using this command:
tar -xvzf (file name)
After the untar command you would have a file…
It may be in this name libflashplayer.so
Otherwise check in your own way that which one is the file….
You might need to create a plugins directory in ( /opt/google/chrome/ ) if its not already present, For this purpose follow this command:
mkdir /opt/google/chrome/plugins
Now copy the untar file libflashplayer.so in ( /opt/google/chrome/plugins ) using this command:
cp libflashplayer.so /opt/google/chrome/plugins
Start Chrome from terminal:
Close all windows of your Chrome browser.
Navigate your terminal to the directory /opt/google/chrome and start chrome using this command:
google-chrome –enable-plugins
That’s it… we are done… you can confirm the installation by typing about:plugins in the address bar.
It should list the plugins…
