That is very helpful. I now grasp that there are two things to do: 1. Instal Sun JDK 1.4.0 2. Install the Plugin. I am making good headway with #1. I have a file called: j2sdk-1_4_0-linux-i386-rpm.bin Which sounds good as I like to keep the rpm database upto date. However I don't grasp a few things and i can't seem to find the help I need easily - not sure where to look. Got as far as: http://java.sun.com/linux/ but there is a lot of info there, most of it not what i need. I need more newbie type help. Here are my questions 1. What is .bin in the file i have ... do I just run it? 2. Where shld i put the Java installation. Somnone suggested in the Home dir for me as user? That would make it easier to reinstall the whole distribution? (I am looking to doing Mandrake 8.1 to 8.2.) 3. Should I be su when setting this up? 4. How will I know I have JDK working? I will know when the plugin works in Mozilla but what about before that? I am setting up OpenOffice and it can't find java - so i presume that the oo setup will work? Thanks again!
