Install the following ports: linux-jdk-1.3.1 linux-gtk-1.2_1 Go to mozilla's web site and get the latest linux binary installer. Extract the tarball and install linux mozilla. su and cd to /usr/local/mozilla/plugins (default location) symlink the jdk to the plugins directory ln -s /usr/local/linux-jdk1.3.1/ java2 symlink the plugin to the currect directory ln -s /usr/local/linux-jdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so . Voila! java in mozilla. Two observations, 1) it feels like linux mozilla is faster than native FreeBSD mozilla although I haven't timed it and cannot explain why. 2) Fonts are messed up in one of my favorite applets (http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sightings/SSapplications/Post/JavaSSOP/JavaSSOP.html) -- Regards, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
