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.

question on linux-base installs
HI all- I recently did my first make buildworld make installworld and it went very well. The howto stuff is very handy :). My question though probably has two parts or so so I'll try to elaborate them a bit. I have been using the linux-mozilla 1.4 port a lot so I can take advantage of the plugins. The one thing I have found with linux-base 8 is that the java plugins don't work and have a common error which I have seen with glibc or other problems.

Any issues with having two versions of linux base installed or should I just deinstall the version 8 and install the linux base 6 stuff? Secondly, I managed to get apm and sound working on the same little dell laptop. Its a dell latitude ls. But suspending seems problemmatic if the system sits too long. Often its locked down completely and requires a reboot. Running the appropriate apm command seems to indicate that it should do resume. I think perhaps its an issue with the laptop's apm implementation in the bios since a few things don't work on it. Like it never tells me how much time is left. On my newer dell Inspiron I4100 running Debian linux, apm is pretty good. Thanks for all the great answers to the questions I read while lurking here :) -- Michael Perry | do or do not.
