What / which flash are you referring to exactly?
Flashplayer. nsplugin<whatsit> There was even (finally) a bug reported for it, a few months back, and it took them a week to find an unnoted dependency, and not only would firefox crash, but their crashreporter would crash, because *it* was dependent upon the missing package.
nspluginwrapper? 32bit flash on 64bit env? why you just don't run the 64bit flash?
You mean the version that didn't exist, and is just now mentioned on slashdot as ->ALPHA<- software?
yes, it still works better than 32bit pluginwrapped version. Try it at: http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/64bit.html
Well, since I don't have a time machine (please let me know if you do - I have a number of *serious* things to correct back then),
YMMD! Add another one to the list of time machine users (if there was one, that is). :D
it doesn't help me back in Oct and Nov. I also really am averse to alpha software - I don't like to use anything less than x.0.1 (after they've fixed the bugs that were missed before the release <g>)
Well, I've been using this 64Bit Adobe Labs Patch stuff for several months now, and honestly I cannot complain. My browser crashed before I used it, and it does now. Compared to the alternatives I have (assuming I am almost *forced* using Flash in some ways in 2010) -- running Windows or, OTOH, running FOSS and fiddling around, keep having audio problems and all stuff of other annoyances -- I really appreciate the Alpha release. I've seen software considered stable (for years) that was much buggier.
