Thanks for all the info. I had got it working in Konqueror. I went to Sun site, downloaded a self-extracting binary of j2re-1.4..2_06, do a 'sh', make some dirs and set Konqueror Java & Javascript to point to the path of 'java'. The download was about 14MB. As a side discussion, wouldn't having to use SUN stuff render Debian incompletely free? Cheers Jianan
