ARGH! Java Wont INstalL!
 

Ok, I downloaded the binary for Java's Runtime Environment, I need Java installed on this box. Followed all instructions. JAVA itself is installed on the machine, but I cant get the plugin to work for my browser. MoZilla help says to enable it in preferences which I did, and it still says that the Java Plugin does not exist. Is there anything to make this easier?

There are about a million threads on this topic:

You could always...

Get a better distro:
www.gentoo.org

:D

Cool

Oh my goodness MasterC your at it again. Do you work for gentoo or slackware?

P.S. I just downloaded and burned gentoo to cd. I'm ready to go.

Me too. I've never done Gentoo before, but I figure it's worth a shot since I talk it up all over the forums :D

Now that I've got my server up (pfft, without any RAM though) I don't need to worry about testing out new distros. So here I go with a Gentoo install!
:)

Cool

Below is my symbolic link to the java plug-in under plugins directory.
libjavaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_01/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so

Sun also has another step to look under Help > About Plug-ins in Netscape or Mozilla. If you see JAVA then JAVA should be working.

Also look at http://www.justlinux.com/ for more instructions for JAVA.
