Could you not copy the Flash plugin .so file (which can be downloaded from Adobe's website) to the browser's plugin directory mounted in the chroot? Or am I misunderstanding it? > The instructions I followed in creating the chroot system implied it is > possible to play the video's. If so, what have I failed to install? While I may not have the answer to your question, I wonder why you do need the chroot if the sole purpose is to play Flash videos etc.; because I am able to use Flash on an amd64 using nspluginwrapper without having to start the browser from a chroot. Do you have any other purpose served by possessing the chroot? I'd like to know if there is something for which a 32-bit chroot would be an absolute necessity.
