H Patrick. Yes it's confusing, but you can go here and get it: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp
Just choose: "Download JRE for Other Platforms" and you'll get there in a coupl'a klicks. This is the generic self-extracting installer. The apt-get thingy will get you 1.4 (I think 32 bit) I think you can find that at blackdown, but it'll run with 32 bit I think only. you'll have to edit your /etc/apt/sources.list to tell apt where to git it, as well. Once you extract jre1.5, you'll have to configure konqueror java in settings to connect to the java binary thusly: /home/user/jre1.5.0/bin/java then java 64 bit will run in konq. Not sure about moz or firef. though. Cheers, Chris W. On February 26, 2005 07:40 pm, Patrick Carlson wrote: > Hello.
