I believe that I am the person she is referring to. Is her name Leigh-Ann? If you are purchasing one of the debian derivatives then I have actually been contemplating buying Libranet. > I am having trouble, however, with installing a java > plugin.

It is not an executable that you can run from the command line. I am using a Sun JDK that I got from the www.java.com. My java plugin is called "javaplugin_oji.so". Plugins are kept in the directory "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins". If you are using mozilla then look in the menu Help>About Mozilla. If you are using Firefox then look in the menu Edit>Preferences>Downloads>Plugins. These will tell you what plugins are active. If you have a file like I mentioned above then either copy the plugin to "/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins" or make a link from the file to that directory and restart your browser. Konqueror will use the same directory. I have assumed that you are using mozilla as your browser and or KDE. If you are perverse enough that you use Gnome then I am not the person to ask about their browsers. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
