The debian-multimedia repository has a version of flashplayer-mozilla for Etch. As a matter of fact, it even has one for Etch/amd64, which uses nspluginwrapper. (However, I have never used the Etch package for either architecture myself since I run Sid.) > 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? It should work once you install the plugin package. Note that it is not necessary to run the chroot on a different VT (if I understand correctly what you are doing). You can run your 32bit iceweasel with the 32bit plugins in your normal 64bit Gnome session: https://alioth.debian.org/docman/view.php/30192/21/debian-amd64-howto.html#id292486 -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
