I'm using an FC3 box. If I point firefox at an applet, it tells me to download a plugin. Following the link is not helpful. Reading old fedora list messages caused me to download and try to install jre-1_5_0_01-linux-i586.rpm . rpm told me that package jre-1.5.0_01-fcs is already installed, but I can find no other evidence of it. Presumably, I'm looking in the wrong place or for the wrong thing. locate jre had produced /home/hennebry/tars/netpbm-10.18.17/converter/ppm/ppmtompeg/jrevdct.c /usr/share/texmf/ptex/platex/base/jreport.cls /usr/share/texmf/ptex/platex/base/jreport.sty /usr/share/latex2html/styles/jreport.perl /usr/share/doc/docbook-style-xsl-1.65.1/docsrc/xsl2jref.xsl /usr/share/doc/docbook-style-xsl-1.65.1/docsrc/jrefhtml.xsl /usr/share/doc/docbook-style-xsl-1.65.1/doc/jrefhtml.xsl ls /usr/java produced ls: /usr/java: No such file or directory What am I supposed to do to use java and firefox? Perhaps more importantly, how was I supposed to be able to find out? -- Mike hennebry@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "There are three kinds of people, those who can count and those who can't."
