I have set up a 32bit chroot environment as is described here: https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html#id292205 That has the advantage that I can use it for any 32bit-only application, so I have a 32bit iceweasel which works with flashplayer, a 32bit xine to play movies which need proprietary w32codecs, I can run Adobe reader if necessary, etc. You can set this up so that it is completely transparent to the user; I followed the "schroot-wrapper" approach described in the link. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
