Staton's instructions, followed to the 't' worked! I did have to use
firefox-1.5.0 instead of mozilla for firefox to see java... on my
system. 

ln -s /opt/jre1.5.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/
lib/firefox-1.5.0/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so

But, by golly it worked!! Thank ye Lawd! ...and thank ye Staton! Ric
