Install Adobe Flash from the official DNF repository

I know this line was written this way originally, but could you split these two sentences into two separate lines per the AsciiDoc Recommended Practices?

I'm not sure I understand lines 32-34. It might help to re-clarify. Alternatively, you could also put all of the required commands together into the same code block. It might be easier for the reader to follow if all the commands needed are together in the same code block. This is at least my preference when reading through documentation that is only providing commands to run.

At first when you mentioned official repository, I thought of the third-party repositories on Fedora. It might help to clarify they are the official repositories provided by Adobe, so the source of the package is clear and trusted.

Any idea if there is an unversioned package? I see this document becoming out of date if Adobe bumps the version or changes the URL of the package. I think it might be better to instruct the user on how to download the package from Adobe's site and then provide docs on how to install it once downloaded. Does this make sense?

Hi @alciregi, thanks for sending this PR. I didn't know Adobe offered an official RPM package now for Flash Player, so that's cool. I left some feedback in-line for you to review. Let me know what you think or if anything is confusing.
