Thanks, but sadly, it gives this error with galeon: LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library /usr/local/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/ppc/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so [/usr/local/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/ppc/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so: R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x0d63d1c4 for symbol `ect' out of range] It seems the plugin contains non-PIC code.
