OK, I've forced a complete re-install of Slimserver and tried to get
SoftSqueeze to install once again from the http interface, but all get left

and counting (with no visible or audible output).
I can run SoftSqueeze as a applet, and I can run it explicitly (as su)
Does it really only run when you're logged in as root? Then there might be a permission problem.

a shell, but clicking on the install and run just doesn't work for me. Any
suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong, or what else I can do to find out
what I'm doing wrong?
I'm running released slimserver 6.0 rpm, on FC3 with java 1.5.0_01.
Thanks, Patrick

Yeah - it happened that way on my windows box too. And it put an icon on my
desktop.

"I don't use Fedora myself, but I'd guess that you don't have a Java plugin in whatever browser you're using, so it gave you some sort of "I don't know what to do with this jnlp stuff" message. You probably assumed that was a "download this?" message, waited a few seconds for nothing to happen, and then went searching."
No, I've got firefox with a java plugin - so no "don't know what to do".
Waited more ike a few minutes (it is a slow m/c though).
OK, so what should have happened then? And how do I undo what I've doneget it to happen right then?
I'm currently rebuilding my linux laptop, so I can't say exactly what would happen, but firefox+java's behavior should be the same any any OS. That's the whole point of the "write once, run anywhere" philosophy underlying both toolkits.
So what should happen when you click help > softsqueeze > install and run is: the applet downloads and launches. You get a splashscreen saying softsqueeze [version] with a picture. It downloads some more resources, unpacks some stuff, and then opens a virtual squeezebox.
That's the way it happens on my mac and my windows box, and the way it happened on my linux box the last time I had one with X.
