Hey guys,

I am just about satisfied with my Linux set-up, but I am running into one more problem. I am trying to install Adobe Flash Player version 10.0.32.18

On Adobe’s website under the Linux download set-up screen, it has the drop-down box to select the format, which I chose .DEB (8.04+)

However, when the download begins, I get the error of it being the wrong architecture. I am running 64-bit, and this is apparently only supported with 32-bit.

I read some literature that says I will need to force the architecture at the terminal, but since it looks like I will now have to install this from the terminal, I would like to know if anyone can walk me through the process / tell me the commands I would need to follow to force the architecture of this flash player AND how to install it from terminal?

Thanks,

Dean
