I too have a laptop with that processor (it's a Thinkpad T61), and I installed my system from a 64-bit minimal CD with the standard make.profile: $ ls -l /etc/make.profile lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 50 2008-05-27 10:22 /etc/make.profile -> ../usr/portage/profiles/default-linux/amd64/2007.0 I can't tell you about Flash, but everything else runs flawlessly - even wireless networking. -- Rgds Peter
