It's in /usr/bin/java and is supplied by the open source version, kaffe. If you use cooker mdk rpm's for mozilla you don't even need to set it up, java will already be enabled, as it is with Konqueror. Out of preference, I get the cooker mozilla src.rpm and --rebuild it. That will provide all the various mozilla rpm's and they'll be optimized for your system. Plus when you install them, menu entires are made for you also. Rpms also make it easy to go back to the previous mozilla version if you choose to. They also give you the option to not install mozilla mail and/or irc if you don't want those. Vanilla source tarballs are not the way too go when Mandrake rpms are available, for anything. It would be better to use RedHat rpms than generic source. They'll at least install to the same directories that Mandrake normally uses, and like all rpms, are easy to remove. YMMV Cooker usually has rpms for mozilla, like most things, within a day or two of the latest version release. Most likely reasons it might be takin longer is 'cause they're testing Mandrake compatibility, or the viability or the version itself, or the mirror you connected to hasn't been updated yet. In the case of moz 9.3, they were there the next day. -- Tom Brinkman Galveston Bay
