I want to upgrade my system to AMD64 lenny, but after reading this
list several times it is not clear what has to happen to get java and
flash working with iceweasel on lenny (amd64).
 Is it even possible?

I think the it hinges around nspluginswrapper  and if I read correctly
that package is not available for lenny?


Yes, it is available.  I'm using it now.

Don't know about Java support.  The argouml application (written in
Java) is in the lenny repository, so I would assume it works.

Java and flash lenny amd64

I want to upgrade my system to AMD64 lenny, but after reading this list several

--Java

I've also read where sun changed their java license so it can be part of Debian 
 - is this
so and what is the package name? If not, what is the workaround for lenny? Is 
this written
up anywhere?


--Flash
I don't want to be told not to use it (I don't want to but have to). Is there a 
working
step-by-step to get flash working with iceweasel?


If it isn't written up anywhere, can folks help me write it up here:

I have recently made the change, and as far as I can see,
  - java works in Konqueror all right, built in, needs no plugin. Some sites
may give problems, but most work.
  - It is pretty easy to build a (s)chroot jail, where everything 32-bit
things just work. I have xine playing videos with closed-source codecs,
iceweasel with java, flash, the works.
  - It does take a bit of time to set it all up. Easier if you can keep
(or rebuild) a 32-bit installation for such purposes.

This is just my newbie experience. But I was surprised how easy it really
was.

Best regards

   Heikki
