I got this to work. I used wget to get the file in /tmp. Unpacked it
(it's some kind of archive, I forget which -- use 'file' for magic).
Then I scouted around the Install.js (or somesuch) file to figure out
what to do to install the stuff. Basically I copy jre-image-i386 to
/usr/local and then made a symlink from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins to
the jre-image-i386/plugin/i386/ns600/libjavaplugin_oji.so.
Then it works (as well as java can be considered to "work").
