I was trying to find the missing symlinks as well and things were getting a bit hairy for me on that path. Then someone updated Bug #334783 with their findings, and buried in there, I was able to deduce to try the following command: "/usr/sbin/update-alternatives --auto javaplugin" When I restarted Firefox, my missing java plugin was back and happy. Give it a shot and see if that cleans up the problem. -- ---Bryen--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
