Sorry now I don't remember. I didn't keep all of that saved. There is an icon in the menu 'Sun java5 webstart'. I looked at it but I do not understand anything. I opened it I should say or ran at.

Ok, if you don't remember, it's probably fine. If you run "apt-get update" now, does it have any errors? As for the Sun-java5 icon, you shouldn't need to ever mess with that directly. Open a browser and enter "about:plugins" into the address bar. You should see a bunch of listings for Java. You can also try this to check the package more directly

Ok there are no errors when I do apt-get update.

OK I won't mess with the sun-java thingy.

After doing the aboutlugins there is whole bunch of stuff and a heading that says:
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_10-b03

File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.5.0_10

with a bunch of stuff under that heading.

Was I suppoed to do this as root or user?
