First was thinking Synaptic should be the easiest way ... so I go Settings -> Add/Remove Software, and an app comes up, but no packages are listed. Also tried to push the missing-plugin button in in Firefox, but didnt get it automagically that way. I did download the .bin from Sun.com (with Firefox), but then I havent figured out how to run a shell (dont see it skimming menus, nor Ctrl-Alt-F2). So big TIA if anyone can tell me any of: * How to make Synaptic actually function on the Eee PC; * How to get to command-line shell on Eee PC; * or any other convenient way to get Java for Firefox onto an Eee PC. Randall (yes i did some searches in Google, get a lot of great command lines that i might could paste in, if i could in fact run a shell.) _______________________________________________ LinuxUsers mailing list [email protected] http://socallinux.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/linuxusers
