re: There is no browser plugin for the PPC! And I think I know why! Guess what is missing from the IBM java 1.4.2 ppc archives? The libjavaplugin_oji.so file needed to link to! No wonder a lot of messages I read say use the Blackdown version. However, it's only 1.3.1!
I did learn alot today. How to create a deb package from another archive. The file is in the IBM jre 1.5 archive, so I may give that a try, although the java-package 0.24 doesn't list it as supported. Guess I could update to 0.27, been there today and done that. So, if I install my ibm-j2re1.4 package I created, then after I install Opera I should have a browser that supports java applets? I need a browser that will work with most commercial sites in the US. They seems to be IE specific and are picky about others.
