Here, no chroot at all. I am using nspluginwrapper for flash and konqueror and Java for applets. I installed the IEview extension for Firefox, so I can readily open any page with Java applets on Konqueror (konqueror does not need the plugin, but the java machine itself but I am not sure how safe it is). Even IE4linux runs on wine-amd64 (debian lenny). All others 32 bits applications such as Skype run with the multilib approach. -- Thadeu Penna Prof.Associado - Instituto de Física Universidade Federal Fluminense http://profs.if.uff.br/tjpp/blog
