I have installed the adobe i386 flash within a amd64 install of hardy and it works fine. Try this * Close firefox * Run sudo apt-get install nspluginwrapper \ ia32-libs-gtk flashplugin-nonfree * Start firefox and go to http://www.adobe.com/shockwave/welcome/ * Send a nice thank you email to the list :) Cheers Dave -- ubuntu-au mailing list ubuntu-au@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-au
