Re: Java Virtual Machine
Seems odd, that KDE can now use Java in webpages, such as scrolling weather
boxes that were once greyed out, etc.. But I just cannot get the installer
to recognize it as does the rest of the system.
Current everyting from the *.deb that was created is lcoated here:
/usr/lib/j2re1.5-sun/ Did I get teh wrong package? Should I have gottent he
JDK(dev kit) vs. the JRE(runtime enviroment)?
Well since I jsut seent hat last line about the "deb" I guess I will remove
it and go from the FAQ page and see where taht gets me.
Thanks for your help
