Many thanks AThe easiest way would be to make sure you have non-free in your /etc/apt/sources.list , run aptitude update and then aptitude install sun-java6-binThanksI've already done that - it still doesn't show up as working in any of the three browsers I use and when testing at the sun site, it reports that java6 is not installed. Hence, I want to pursue Martin's earlier suggestion re: symlinks, but cannot track down where sun-java6-jre was installed.A
Thats odd, it should create a symlink to /etc/alternatives/mozilla-javaplugin.so
what does update-alternatives --list mozilla-javaplugin.so give you? it should give you something like this: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun/jre/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so -+-8 out of 10 Owners who Expressed a Preference said Their Cats Preferred Techno.
