RPMforge provides already the (beta) 64bit flash-plugin, so there's no 
need to wait for it. In this case the 64bit is installed, so there is no 
reason to install the 32bit. Unless you want to replace the 64bit by the 
32bit.

If that is the case (beware, you may need to change browsers, or install 
another plugin) you should uninstall the 64bit package first.

RPMforge tracks the flash-plugin releases and packages them asap because 
there is an important security impact for systems that have it installed.
