Apologies again, Sacarde.  Do you mean:

* You wish to use packages prepared by archlinuxppc.org?

or

* You are using the archlinuxppc.org version or distribution of linux?

From the way you structured your reply, I'll risk guessing that you
mean that you are using their distribution of Linux.  I have read of
others who use two or more distributions of Linux on their computer
for whatever reason.  As long as you've followed their installation
recommendations, etc. there is no problem with that.

However one needs to remember that archlinuxppc.org, like most other
projects or efforts, will have variations or approaches which differ
from one another.  I have sincere respect for each of the efforts of
all these volunteers.  You stated that gnash works within that
distribution, and it allows you to watch youtube.  Great!

Allow me to state that I don't use YDL to do that, so it is possible
that I missed describing something you care about.  I'll explain what I
see when I visit youtube and the browsers I'm using.

Firefox v 1.5.0.1.0.  The movie appears but the control bar for
starting and stopping the video exists in the middle of the window.
Also when I select any movie, a blank smaller window appears in the
lower left corner of Firefox.

Seamonkey 1.0.8 Same as above

Gnome web browser 2.14.3  The only performance difference is that the
blank smaller window appears in the upper right corner of this browser.

As I stated earlier I don't use Linux to view video.  For me it is much
simpler to use OS X when I want to watch video or play online flash
games, etc.

The one positive thing I can state regarding gnash is that it has
allowed flash commercials to appear (very slowly) when I visit nyt.com.
I hate commercials at any speed.
