I don't have /usr/lib/mozilla-cvs/plugins/ either but... As I am running Openoffice, I wanted to install Java but the debian version, 1.4.0.99beta-1, didn't work. I downloaded j2re-1_4_2-linux-i586.bin from the sun site and -it- did work in Openoffice. When I told Firebird where javaplugin_oji.so was, it also worked. :-) HTH, YMMV, HAND :-) Wayne -- No matter how much data you add to your laptop, it will not get heavier. _______________________________________________________ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
