Hi Sandip, Just a few minutes ago I posted my variations on Nate's instructions. My differences involved using Debs for the Java. This, along with the file locations I used may be just what you want. Here, are Nate's steps with my diffs. >>1) install phoenix(I install to ~/phoenix) > in /usr/local/bin/phoenix.d/ > >>2) download java: >>http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html >>(I downloaded the linux self extracting file) > I used the Blackdown Debs (j2se1.3) These are my sources as added to /etc/apt/sources.list ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian \ testing non-free ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian \ testing main > >>3) chmod +x the java file and run it, move the directory to /usr/local/java > The Debs took care of location /usr/bin/java > >>4) exit phoenix >>5) cd ~/phoenix/plugins > cd /usr/local/bin/phoenix.d/plugins > >>6) ln -s /usr/local/java/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so > ln -s /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so > >>7) start phoenix >>8) in url box type about:plugins to be sure it's loaded >>9) test it by going to: >>http://java.sun.com/openstudio/applets/clock.html >> Try it.
