Hi,

I have a X86_64 machine. I have installed FC8. But I discovered that
with Mozilla, for instance, some webs, requiered to use some plugins,
like Shokewave-flash. But this extension is not available for 64bits
machine....

this machine will be used for webserver, but also as desktop machine..
is this really reasonable to use a i386 version of FC8 on a 64b machine
? Is there a real gain to use an 64b version ?

If you absolutely can't live without Flash in your browser you can run the
i386 version of Mozilla/Firefox/etc under your X86_64 installation.

Or you can look into nspluginwrapper.


Really ? I can download and run Mozilla for i386 on an X86-64 bit machine ????
