Darn editor wanted to wrap it. or, indeed: cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins ln -s /opt/jre1.5.0_07/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so which doesn't wrap (and is probably easier to read. <g>) although I *really* (as have many others) recommend the jpackage approach. it really doesn't take long, and the java packages it produces fit in properly with FCs alternatives system. :) Stuart - -- Stuart Sears RHCA RHCX To err is human, to forgive is Not Company Policy. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFEpRypamPtx1brPQ4RAuYeAJwPKAn6usK7D9gxRO6Vly0T1qjGnQCeJ+zG W/vGvq9dA6YYzof4vsaSTHE= =7o0J -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
