Additional datapoint: I have the Sun version installed via rpm. rpm -q j2re j2re-1.4.1-fcs I was able to download the blackdown archive, unpack it, and copy the plugin to /usr/java/j2re1.4.1/plugin/i386/ns610/javaplugin_oji.so I then removed the old symlink in /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ and created a new one to the above file. Appears to work fine. - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+c8xOn/07WoAb/SsRAmxwAJ9FtwQXLU5uUntfSLUClsZuQUB8DgCdHyXH 64iLh89qUfnOsYhwa0K80cg= =huWo -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Psyche-list mailing list Psyche-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/psyche-list
