Thanks Donn and Jerry for the help. I was able to get java installed and into my PATH. It ran my game so apparently it is working. Unfortunately the game sucked but at least I got it up and running which is the point. However I can't get it to work for Konqueror. There's no plugin for Konqueror, at least not from what I can tell. I still can't get Mozilla to install either. Clicking on mozilla-install-bin does nothing, but when I ran it in Konsole (change permission and use the ./ command) it opened the install program. Before finishing it stopped and said fatal error: can't read x---suchandsuch library. I guess I still need to figure that one out. --- Donn Shumway wrote: > Here's a link to specific instructions to install > java.
