Thanks for telling me about RPMfind. However I don't really understand what RPM is or where I can get it or how to install it. If you could explain that it would be great. So anyways I tried installing java once again and for some reason it extracted all of the files, so that's done. However I read that it works on Mozilla and I am running Konqueror. I dled Mozilla but can't figure how to install it and there is no readme. It's in the form of tar.gz. In there there's a file called Firefox installer but I don't know what to do with it. Also, I'm trying to run a clone of the game Colonization. It says I have to use java and that it has to be in my PATH, I have no idea what that means or how to do it. I know this is lengthy but any help you can give is appreciated. rob0t163 --- Richard Whitney wrote: > Quoting D - : > > > Hola, > > I'm trying to install java on my system and can't > get > > it to work.
