Installing Java on Mandriva Firefox 1.0.4 ?
 

Has anyone sucessfully installed java to firefox v1.0.4 (upgraded from firefox 1.0.2 prior trying java install) ?
I've followed the instructions on Sun's download page to no avail.
Please be specific in your response...noob here.

make a link in the plugin dir of your firefox installation dir.

for example:
"cd /path/to/firefox/install/dir/plugin"
"ln -s /path/to/java/dir/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so ."

then restart firefox. In the address bar type: "about:plugins"
Do you see anything about Java there?

Book mark this site
http://rpm.pbone.net/
it is very handy

here is the RPM for J2RE 1.5 for Mandrake 10.1
it is likely to be a fairly big file to download
http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/stat....i586.rpm.html

basically download the file to a folder
add that folder to RPM thingy in MCC media manager
add the RPM using MCC install programme

hope this helps

Thanks too both of you for your replies.
Floppywhopper he RPM at http://rpm.pbone.net/index.php3/sta...l.i586.rpm.html
worked for me.

And Falo your suggestion to check about:plugins is a useful tip.
