Hi Dave -don't have time for detailed instructions as I have to go out. I'd probably get them wrong anyway. Assuming you are in KDE, there is a little icon of a monitor on your taskbar towards the lefthand side. klick on this and you have a shell to type commands in. You should (I think) su to root for this (type su root without the quotes and enter root password at the prompt). Good luck There are some real geniuses here who pick this up and run with it.

Not claiming to be one of the geniuses ;-) But - Type 'su' and you can enter root commands. To get out, back to your own shell, type 'exit'. Better, though, is to use the menu Session New Root Session. This will open in a tab and you will always know by the colour whether you are using the root session or user one. Again, 'exit' is the way to close the session. Anne - -- Registered Linux User No.293302 (http://counter.li.org/) Have you visited http://twiki.mdklinuxfaq.org yet?

Hi ! Here's how I installed j2re-1_4_1_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin. chmod a+x j2re-1_4_1_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin then ./j2re-1_4_1_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin and fin'lly rpm -Uvh j2re-1_4_1_01-linux-i586-rpm Then, following the instructions on the mozilla plugins page $ln -s /usr/java/j2re1.4.1_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so Mozilla can see it now. My first question is: How can I know if java in my PATH ? (In case I want to run a program that depends on it) [cyberhades@localhost cyberhades]$ $PATH bash: /usr//bin:/bin:/usr/bin::/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/games:/home/cyberhades/bin: No such file or directory Second question: Am I supposed to create a ~/bin directory ? Would there be an advantage in creating it ? Thanks in advance. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Sorry about replying to your address, but that's what hotmail did. Sigh. I've finished copying the files but when making the symlink I'm told the the file already exists, does this mean I can leave it alone or do I have to delete the old one first? _ Chat with friends online, try MSN Messenger: http://messenger.msn.com Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
