[root at sangam simon]# grep enabled /etc/yum.repos.d/adobe-linux-i386.repo
enabled=1

I guess that I continue playing around with the system (I also still 
have this problem with my wireless network which is actually much more 
urgent) and eventually do reinstall everything. So maybe if I have a 
clean install again, this will also work out of the box.

Anyway, I really appreciate the help of people like you.
