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? -- Regards, Mick
