Re: 1st question - installing java on Mandrake

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.
