Subject: [gentoo-user] Installing adobe flash on 64bit arch
Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2010 23:13:28 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <358eca8f1003101513s3500be75naf3e9e1a91b22a36@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

I see in the amd64 FAQs this:
==============================
Can I get Adobe Flash working?
 Yes. Just emerge adobe-flash. Adobe has provided a 64-bit Flash
plugin starting with version 10.0.22.87. If you don't need the 32-bit
plugin, then run echo "www-plugins/adobe-flash -32bit" >>
/etc/portage/package.use. This will install only the 64-bit Flash
plugin.
==============================

So that I am clear, why would I want to install flash with both the
32bit and 64bit USE flags?  If there is no reason for both flags, then
should I be disabling the 32bit globally or are there other
circumstances that mean I should only set it so for this package?

Mick
