??????? ran that command ... nothing happened that I could see .... just set the line for the next entry ..
That is exactly what it should do . . . it executed the commands and reported no errors . . . . Did you open a Mozilla browser to see if the plugin was there now ?
just dbl clicked it and away it went .... all according to the insts from sun ....
I can't imagine those are the instructions from sun . . . can you copy and paste that part from their site ?:lol: Bruno

Bruno,,,,Welll.... it is still not listed under the plugins ... so I guess it is not there ... now about Sun .... let me reprhrase that ... I opened home and dbl clicked on the icon that was listed for the java program and it opened and ran through the installation process ... I just don't have any idea if it really did install or if it was just showing what would be the process. The insts are at Suns web site and I did try to follow them but since it did not d/l into the usr directory I was lost there ...BTW ... anything that I d/l in Linux seems to go to the home directory ... and in this install of Drake 10.0 there is a 4GB partiton for usr so ... I need to learn how to direct the d/l's to the usr and not home ...

I seem to remember Sun having some that you clicked on the icon and it installed from there. Remember they have some that have installer programs that make it look more like Windows.Julia :)

Bruno,,..Those are the exact same instructions I have printed out here ... my problems start (I am using the self-extracting Instructions) with step 3 (Change to the directory) since it uses usr as an example I tried to follow that but my home has the d/l not usr .. so I am lost from the start ... should I be doing cd /home/java ??? ... also since I did do that dbl click I mentioned in the home directory ... there is an icon resembles a file that is dog-eared with what appears to be a terminal in it and it has the j2re info underneath it and when I click on properties it lists it as shell script, there is also a folder there that is for j2re and it is listed as folder when I click on the properties tab for it ..... soooooooooooo ...... there it is in a nut shell ... I figure that as soon as I can learn how to properly install the d/l's that I do .... I will be way ahead of where I am now ... BTW .... the only time .. I have had a successful install of Java in a Linux OS was in RH7.2 and I was using Netscape as the browser and that was a long time ago ... almost 2 years now

Hi DaleDo this:

sumkdir /usr/javacp   j2re-1_4_2_04-linux-i586.bin  /usr/java

Then the file is in /usr/java/j2re-1_4_2_04-linux-i586.binThen:

cd /usr/javachmod a+x j2re-1_4_2_04-linux-i586.bin./j2re-1_4_2_04-linux-i586.bin

That should install it correctlyB) Bruno

Bruno .Okay ... did that and am going on the hunch that it is installed ... it got to the end and said done I entered ls and got the response that is listed in the instructions .... now I need to create this "symbolic link" or the instructions say I do ... but once again ... I am not comprehending what they are saying (nothing new there) and it is also not listed as an installed plug-in under the installed plug-ins header yet

In that case do again:

rm /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.sorm /usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

And press "Y" on every question you get . . . ;):) Bruno
