I highly doubt it. 64bit kernel is a 64bit kernel. what may have
Well, it is a kernel from a package called "linux-image-2.6.18-amd64"
so I suspect it is tweaked to run especially on this architecture.
happened is that you are using a 32bit weasel and debian was installed
with the libraries for 32 bit compatability, or that the flash player is
statically compiled and runs outside the weasel process' context (which
I'm pretty sure it's not, but I never checked)
There it goes to show that the claim that it takes more than just a
deb install is incorrect, which was the whole point of my previous
point.
