Charles, Thanks for the reply. I tried this with the file I downloaded and that didn't work, so then I went back and got the same file you got, and it still didn't work. Not sure why - it all seemed to install ok. But I still get that damned box coming up. Greg On Thursday 14 March 2002 18:14, you wrote:

Nope. I just went and tried it myself. I couln't get the darn automatic installation to work, so I did this:
#!/bin/sh # Download the jre.xpi cd $HOME wget --passive-ftp ftp://ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape6/english/6.2.1/unix/linux22/xpi/jre.xpi
# Go to your mozilla plugin directory cd $HOME/.mozilla/plugins
# Make a java2 subdirectory and go into it mkdir java2 cd java2
# Unzip the xpi file here (yes, it is a ZIP file) unzip $HOME/jre.xpi
# Move the contents of jre-image-i386 up one directory # and remove the istaller junk that doesn't work mv jre-image-i386/* . rm -rf symlink.sh install.js jre-image-i386
# Make a symlink in the plugin dir to the actual plugin binary cd .. ln -s java2/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so .
It seems to work. No more annoying "download the plugin" dialog boxes.
