Dear each
Iceweasel is telling me that I have a missing plugin, the JRE, which I
need for a course. I have downloaded jre-6u1-linux-i586.bin (which is the
appropriate plug-in), but:
(i) is this the best thing to be using on a Lenny/Sid system and
(ii) if so, how do I go about installing a *.bin file on my system?
Many thanks

The easiest way would be to make sure you have non-free in your
/etc/apt/sources.list , run aptitude update and then aptitude install
sun-java6-bin
Thanks
I've already done that - it still doesn't show up as working in any of the
three browsers I use and when testing at the sun site, it reports that java6
is not installed. Hence, I want to pursue Martin's earlier suggestion re:
symlinks, but cannot track down where sun-java6-jre was installed.

Thats odd, it should create a symlink to
/etc/alternatives/mozilla-javaplugin.so
what does update-alternatives --list mozilla-javaplugin.so give you?
it should give you something like this:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
