Thanks a bunch, Nate.  I had to make a couple of changes, but only in
detail.  I've noted them below. Maybe it will help those that did it my
way, as I did it -- my way :)

I used the Blackdown Debs (j2se1.3)
ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian \
testing non-free

ftp://metalab.unc.edu/pub/linux/devel/lang/java/blackdown.org/debian \
testing main

>3) chmod +x the java file and run it, move the directory to /usr/local/java

The Debs took care of location /usr/bin/java

cd /usr/local/bin/phoenix.d/plugins

ln -s /usr/lib/j2se/1.3/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so
