blueghost Posted November 21, 2002 Share Posted November 21, 2002 if you're after the java plugin for mozilla/netscape the script on http://www.pikeus.freeserve.co.uk/junk/moz...java-linux.html should do the trick, extarct the moz-java.zip and then run the moz-java.sh script as root, it should download and install the java plugin.

I did see the Macromedia read me too. Now is it possible to "run as root" or do I need to log on as root from the start? Thanks :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MulletRobZ Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 Isntalling Flash is a piece of cake, but you might not be so lucky with the Java. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrunkenMaster Posted November 23, 2002 Share Posted November 23, 2002 Netscape should also have the links on their website which btw Mozilla links to anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makmak Posted November 24, 2002 Share Posted November 24, 2002 Flash player installation is easy. BTW, they have a beta 6 offering. Its look something like this. install_flash_player_6_linux.tar.gz #tar -xvf install_flash_player_6_linux.tar.gz Then run the provided script you are done. If u want the Linux Beta 6 Flashplayer. Let me know. I email u. mak168@pacific.net.sg As for Java. I alway use the Java runtime i downloaded from http://java.sun.com Current is j2re-1_4_1_01-fcs-linux-i586.rpm All u need is just rpm it. and copy the libjavaplugin_oji.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ or depending how ya mozilla is resided upon. This shld fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
