Ok guys, I've tried this every way from Sunday with Red Hat 7.3. I've pointed the Netscape plug-in path to the various 4.0, 6.0 and 6.2 java plug-ins and I've copied the plug-ins to the Netscape plug-in folder after installing the RPM from Sun v.1.4.1 successfully. The plug-ins either don't work or they crash Netscape/Mozilla. Suggestions or solutions please!

Did you very carefully read the installation directions from Sun on how to install it? There are 3 different ways to link their Java VM to Netscape, and it depends on what version you are using.

Thanks guys...your replies are appreciated. I opted out of Red hat 7.3 for Mandrake 9.1 that easily recognized Sun's jre 1.4.1 within Mozilla's 1.3 browser without issue.
