I'm a general newbie to linux. I know basic commands and what not. But when I followed the instructions
here to manually install the Java plugin for Firefox, it doesn't work. I still can't get applets to run. I'm running SUSE 10.0, so I also tried installing the Java 1.4.2 plugin that I found when I searched for it using YaST2's Software Management. Neither worked

. Anybody have any advice?
I already looked at
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...d.php?t=460452 which was almost the same question, but I tried all that he did. SUSE installed firefox in /opt/lib/MozillaFirefox . Do you think that makes a difference?
