Just to follow up. I tried teasing out the dependancies to see if I
could get it to work and I couldn't. I trid the suggestion of just
bringing in ia32-libs, ia32-libs-gtk, and nspluginwrapper but ran into a
conflict with a requirement for libglib2.0-0 >= 2.12.9, however, newer
versions require a newer libc6.
So I guess its either the chroot approach or upgrading to Lenny. To
that end, I started a new thread asking about Lenny.
Thanks for your help.
Doug.
