Which version of java did you install, and what version of Mozilla are you running?

1.4.1 mozilla..and i did the j2drske it hink....shrug i just download it from their site...installation was sucessful as i know..but the jvm still doesn't work...i would be glad to download install a whole new set of java files and such..just tell me which=)

Download sdk-1_4_2-nb-3_5_1-bin-linux.bin ( Linux (.bin) ) from the sun java website. Then follow these instructions..

uh the sdk doesn't exist with the netbeans..thats only the second part of the download section...which oen do you want me to install? i think you cut off the j2 off your post?

Yes, I did. Sorry.

Hi,
Dispite having Mandrake 9.2 working on my laptop for several months now, I still haven't sused out how to install stuff. I noticed when surfing the net via Mozilla, that Java and Flash things aren't working, so I downloaded "j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin" from Java.com...

How do I install this...?

I have downloaded the plug-in to my tmp folder under my login under home.

cd to the directory where it is downloaded, and as root go:

chmod 777 j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin [enter]

That's in case it's permissions are set in such a way that it won't run. Then go:

./j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin

or

sh j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin [enter]

After installation, follow the steps on how to link to Mozilla from above.

sdk-1_4_2-nb-3_5_1-bin-linux.bin will do the same thing and is much easier to install.

yeh mandrake 9.2 was a pain to install plugins for some reason.... had the same problem.. but dan here helped

Cheers once more Dapper Dan.....

I unpacked by following your instructions, tried following the instruction from the link above but it just said 'file already exists' - so I tried double clicking on the unpacked rpm from the home graphic view... it installed itself...

Went to a web page that I knew had a JVM applet and whalaa...... IT WORKED...

That's the first thing I have ever got to work after the initial install.... chuffed or what.... now then, let's try getting flash to work...
