Getting linux-mozilla and java to work is always a bit tricky: I have got linux-mozilla1.5rc2 linux_base-8.0_1 linux-sun-jdk-1.4.2.01 and use the plugin found in .../jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so This also works with linux-realplayer, acroread-5 and linux-flash plugins. Good Luck! Uli. +---------------------------+ | Peter Ulrich Kruppa | | Wuppertal | | Germany | +---------------------------+
