If you have no qualms installing the Sun's jre, then after you have
installed the (bin+rpm) JRE, then look for the following directory:

/usr/java/

Under this you should find the JRE that you just installed (atleast this
is where it installs the files in the 32 bit versions).

The next things that you want to do is, add the JRE to the path. I
usually add the following lines to my /etc/profile file (just before the
unset calls)

# Adding extra paths.
pathmunge /usr/java/latest/bin


Then, you will need to symlink the JRE plugin to the mozilla plugins
directory.

(as root)
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
ln -s /usr/java/latest/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

/Check for the file location in your JRE. I usually install the JDK so
the above locations work for me/

Now just restart your browser and visit a site that is Java enabled :)

HTH,

later,
Rogue
