I have down loaded java and installed it in /usr/local/jdk1.1.5 as recommended I did this because my Netscape 3.01 will not view a web site, www.geobits.com that my kids gave me as a birthday present, although any of my win95 browsers see it ok I thought the problem might have been a lack of java on my system Now I have more problems that I am not competent to solve: 1 I had to su to root to get the tar to work. now Icant get into the /usr/local/jdk1.1.5 as an ordinaryt user 2 even when i su back to root and get ino /usr/local/jdk1.1.5/demo/Clock say what do I do to run the demonstration? Is there some sort of exe or bin somewhere that I should invoke first I can navigate into the demo files with my navigator (funnily as a user, not root) but I cant get any demos to run - all I get is a java source code listing i am trying to eschew Microsoft and encourage others to do the same via FreeBSD or Linux, but it is an uphill battle all the way. I realise everything would be easier if i were an unix guru, but i am not and have better things to do than to try to become one. I would be grateful for some help. ps Netscape help does not reply to my problem report thanking you To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
