It is critical to me for the java plug-in to work. One of the first things I did after installing RedHat 8, was to "upgrade" Mozilla to 1.2.1 -- piece of cake. Just make sure you install it to a new directory (I used /usr/lib/mozilla-1.2.1/ ), then copy the files from /usr/lib/mozilla-1.0.1/plugins/ to the plugins directory in the new Mozilla install directory. After that, you can remove the old Mozilla. In fact, I installed the xft-enabled RedHat rpms, and it looks beautiful! I had forgotten how nice it is to have anti-aliased fonts when browsing the web. Java works perfectly, as do my other plugins like Flash. And 1.2.1 has been very stable for me, too, in spite of the warnings at the Mozilla website about using the xft-enabled version. -- Dave Sherman MCSE, MCSA, CCNA "If we wanted you to understand it, we wouldn't call it code."
