Hello All,
I'm getting this from my bank:
This page contains information of a type (application/x-java-vm) that can
only be viewed with the appropriate plugin.
It wants me to download the Java Run Time Environment (JRE) v1.3 Plug-in
with
Java 2 support. I click the Linux version and Install Now. It seems to
install, but everytime I go back to the page it wants me to dowload it
again.
I'm never going to get my bills paid at this rate. Any ideas why it
either isn't being installed properly or Firefox isn't seeing the
installation properly.
I tried it as well, with depressing results. What I did was to download the
j2sdk from sun. It comes as a .bin file, which you make executable
(chmod +x the_file.bin)
when you run it, it will extract an rpm after you agreed to some license
stuff. Then urpmi 'the_unpacked_rpm' which would give you something like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] c]# rpm -qa | grep j2
j2sdk-1.4.2_05-fcs
In order to set JAVA_HOME I use this script, in /etc/profile.d
[EMAIL PROTECTED] c]# cat /etc/profile.d/java.sh
#!/bin/bash
# /etc/profile.d/java.sh - Sets Java Environment
if [ -z $JAVA_HOME ]; then
if [ -e /etc/javaversion ]; then
javaver=`cat /etc/javaversion | head -1`
fi
if [ -z $javaver ]; then
jdkpath=`ls -1 /usr/java/ | grep $javaver | head -1`
if [ X$jdkpath == X ]; then
jdkpath=`ls -1 /usr/java/ | head -1`
fi
else
jdkpath=`ls -1 /usr/java/ | head -1`
fi
export JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/$jdkpath
export PATH=${PATH}:${JAVA_HOME}/bin
fi
it is executable of course
Now you got java properly installed.
try by executing
[EMAIL PROTECTED] c]$ java -version
java version 1.4.2_05
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_05-b04)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_05-b04, mixed mode)
Firefox needs a symlink to load the plugin

/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox-0.8/plugins/

Or maybe the whole thing is impossible, what with this Rockwell chipset ? I'd have a go with minicom, and send some AT commands to it.

I do have masses of space (I didn't even mention the scsi subsystem g), but a lot of it is currently spoken for. If I understand the install docs correctly, the Mandrake installer will only suggest partition sizes if I let it take over the whole drive. Is that correct? If so, I'll need to define my partition sizes myself, 'cause I can't just let 'er rip and overwrite. I think so, but I'm not sure. I'd use 'Expert mode' in setting the disk up.

The key for me would be the ease or difficulty of getting the MBR back to its original state if I decide to flee back into the smothering embrace of Redmond. g Seriously though, I just need to make very sure I can get into XP when I need to. Until such time as I might decide to make a complete migration, I'd have real need to get into XP on demand. DJ Have fun. You migth want to have a look at fdisk in XP.
