[newbie] Installing Java plugin for Mozilla

2003-01-24 Thread Mark Weaver
Hi there,

I wish I had a dollar, (accounting for the current rate of inflation),
for every time I've seen this need addressed in these lists. Doesn't
anyone read the archives any more? ;)

with this thought in mind I've saved this message as a template on my
system and will send it to the list probably once a week so in case
anyone misses the post it will show up again and again and again on the
list for those poor souls that missed it the previous time it was
posted. Almost as many times as the question, "where can I get the Java
plugins for Mozilla/Netscape...etc...

anyway...if you're needing the java plugin for Netscape, or Mozilla go
follow the link below and you'll be able to download and install the
java plugin. And by the way...this does not require the download and
install of Sun's JDK or JRE packages. This is a seperate "browser" plugin.

IMPORTANT NOTE: you Must be root user when you do this or the plugin
will NOT install.

That sounds excellent.  I'll try it.

If you use Mozilla or Phoenix (don't know about NS7) and haven't been
using custom keyword searching, now's the time to learn.

Just go to any site that has a search (like the newbie archives at
http://www.mail-archive.com/newbie@linux-mandrake.com/), enter a dummy
search phrase like "coffee" (no quotes) and bookmark the results page.

Next, go to Bookmarks > Mangage bookmarks, and look at the properties of
the bookmark you just made. Locate the word "coffee" in the URL and replace
it with "%s" (no quotes). In the keyword field, enter a short phrase
you'll remember; I use "newb".

Now when I enter "newb boot hang cups" in the address bar I go directly to
the results page of a Mandrake newbie search on "boot hang cups".
Pretty cool!

I also have custom searches for Freshmeat.net, rpmfind.net, m-w.com,
sourceforge, amazon.com, LDP, google (web, groups, images, and news) and
a few others. Very handy for URL's I'm always forgetting/misplacing.

If there were clear links to the archives and an easy way of searching them we 
would use them more.  I haven't seen the archives for months - I never see 
any link to them and can't remember the url

Still no joy, Netscape also refuses to recognize this version of java
and, although Mozilla an Galeon recognize the updated version, they
still crash instantly when encountering a page with an applet.

Rich,

Then it would appear that there's something wrong with your installation 
of Netscape/Mozilla, because this plugin has been working flawlessly for 
myself and others, which is why I post this message about once a week on 
the list.

I just installed the Java plugin and it was a lot easier than messing around 
with j2re.They install automatically.I had to run my browser as root to have 
permission to install.Then restart as user and voila you got java.
