+Yes, but having a 64-bit package is better. The 64-bit plugin "Square"
+(http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flashplayer10_square.html) has been
+tested since November 2010 and I haven't read about any problems. I've
+been using it on several machines on Mandriva and Mageia.
+So, although it may be nice to have a rpm (as I have been told
+yesterday), instead of using a 32-bit rpm on a 64-bit machine I'd
+always recommend using the 64-bit version from adobe. The installation
+is no astrophysics.
