The way I do it is to start Mozilla as root and go to http://java.sun.com, this will spawn the java plugin installer. Follow the instructions to download and install. It will install java into the /usr/lib/mozilla directory. When done, close Mozilla and leave root, then start it again as a regular user. That should do it. Otherwise, use the Blackdown java as describe elsewhere in this thread, although I've not yet used it I understand it works nicely. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
