Here is what I have just done to enable Java in Galeon 1.3.2 (Mozilla 1.3 beta2) on Mandrake 9.1 rc2 (default Java doesn't work well for Internet Banking): Downloaded Sun JRE 1.4.0_3 from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4/download.html Extracted the j2re1.4.0_3 directory and moved it to /usr/lib Ran 'update-alternatives /usr/bin/java java /usr/lib/j2re1.4.0_3/bin/java 40' Ran 'ln -s /usr/lib/j2re1.4.0_3/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-1.3b/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so' I don't know if Redhat 8.0 uses Debian's /etc/alternatives system, but if it does, this setup works very well. I hope this helps. Kind regards, John... -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
