Hi Doug, you can try the packages "gnash" or "klash". Sometimes flash will work with them. I had success with mozilla firefox on flash-sites, but there is no guarantee, it will always work. Klash made problems, too, on some websites, especially www.heise.de. There sometimes is opening a window with a comment "fscommand not recognized", whatever this might mean. With konqueror and klash installed (klash is for KDE), the cpu`s work increases to 100 percent. Flash in mozilla and in konqueror seem to work different. I had success with an installed 32-bit opera. It seems, opera is using its own flash, and , as it is 32-bit and is working together with the libs out of the chroot, is is working fine. Oh, I forgot to explain: All programs I use, are not running in the chroot. I have a sid-chroot installed (minimalistic), and the paths are in /ld.so.cache. So every application is using the correct libs, whatever it needs. So: The chroot is only for holding the needed 32-bit-libs. Hint: keep the chroot as minimalistic as possible, as some libs could interfere with the 64-bit-libs, i.e. the nvidia-glx-32 of the 64-bit-systems is interfering with the nvidia-glx in the chroot. I might be possible, to install the flash-packages in the chroot, but this is not tested by me, just an idea. O.k., I hope, this will help a little bit.
