Could be a permissions issue. Did you install 4.79 into
/usr/local as root and then install the java plugin into the
/netscape/plugins directory also as root? Then, when you run
netscape as a user it ought to work.
I used to do this with mozilla until it got added into woody and
it worked for me. Although I'd have to re-install the jave
plugin each time I upgraded mozilla because if I just copied the
plugins directory over to the new mozilla install, it didn't
work.
hope this helps,
