Here is what I do. I place the java file in my /home/dennis directory, then open konqueror web browser and at the top tool bar click on "Settings>configure konqueror, on the left hand side of the screen click on Konqueror Browse>java tab and click on the enable java box, then look below and you will see a line that just says "java" , I click on the browse button and navigate to the /home/dennis/jre-1.4xxx/bin/java file I put there from a download earlier and click ok. This accesses java and has the file in a handy place so I don't have to go looking for it if I do a new install or upgrade or something. Since I usually do not reformat /home when I upgrade, reinstall, install new OS, my java file is there and ready without doing a new d/l. Just one way of doing it and one of my quirks, Mandrake Linux has a bunch of different ways available, you gotta love it. HTH -- Dennis M. linux user #180842
