Hello,
Fairly new to Fedora (and linux). Running FC3. Came with Mozzila,
but I also instaleld Firefox. Browsers work fine. No proxies
involved.
I wanted to be able to run Java, and it didn't seem to be installed.
So I downloaded Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE) from
java.com. Installed the rpm. Seemed to work fine.
Now under preferences, I see Java, and there is one version of Java
Applet Runtime Settings and one version of Java Application Runtime
Settings. Both are enabled.
But in my browser, when I try to view any java applets
(http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.jsp) I get a message
telling me I need a plugin (Sun Java J2SE50). I have restarted my
browser, even the entire system once. Still doesn't know I have java
installed?
Thanks
Shane
