Although I have 64-bit machine for years now, recently I completely switched to 32 bit firefox-bin, just found supporting both 64-bit and 32-bit firefoxes too much of a bother. 32-bit flash and java works OK for me. Flash under 64-bit is I guess possible through some wrappers, but is a pain. Dmitri > > Thanks! > > - Mark > -- > gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list -- gentoo-amd64@gentoo.org mailing list
