The whole flash plugin thing in a 64 bit distro
 

Is there yet a way to make the 32bit version of the flash plugin work in a 64 bit environment that actually works?

This guy has Fedora, but I'm sure you can do it in Mandriva also, I never got around to trying it as I only have dial up and flash ads are annoying and use up precious bandwidth. If you give it a go, give some feed back for the community please.

Iz about time that I tried a technique for installing the flashplayer/plugin in a 64bit environment and it actually worked even though I have mandriva instead of fedora.
