Hello all.

I installed Hardy 64bit on my Athlon 64 machine. I have a few questions.

How do you get the Java plugin to work with Firefox. I tried the gcj thing and it worked really lousy. Will SUN ever release a sun-java6-plugin for 64 bit? Is there a way to get it to work?

Also when I installed the gstreamer0.10-pitfdll there is not 64 bit version. Is this of huge consequence. Looks like that package is for MS Windows as well.

I did notice that the flashplugin-nonfree works perfectly in 64 bit so that is good.

If the pitfdll is of no consequence and there is a good way to have a SUN Java plugin then 64 bit will replace 32 bit on my Core 2 Quad.

Thanks.
