No problem.  No, it will not work with the 64-bit browser :(.  I guess
the RPM would install (maybe), but you would not get flash in the
browser.  We'll have to wait for Macromedia to come out with a 64-bit
flash player.  Similarly for the Java VM.  There is not 64-bit Java at
least, so the VM may not be far off.
