 The 64bit version of flash-plugin is currently unsupported by adobe, it's available on labs.adobe.com at http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10.html 
+This is however unsupported at this point, the last update was November 30th, 2010 as of March 9, 2011.
 
+The recommended method of using flash is to use the 32bit version and the 64bit wrapper on it.  This can be achieved using the helper package *flash-plugin64* which has appropriate requires lines to get the flash-plugin wrapped properly.

+Skype also requires sssd-client.i686.  It also requires libv4l.i686 to properly use a webcam. The following script should be used as a wrapper to start skype.

+#!/bin/bash

+if [ -x /usr/bin/skype ]; then
+        LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so /usr/bin/skype
