from
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
done
and
get 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.
