By far the easiest way is to use the Netscape download file


ftp.netscape.com/pub/netscape6/english/6.1/unix/linux22/xpi/

Download

Flash.xpi
jre.xpi

To a directory on your HD. Launch mozilla as root, file>open>the 
download directory;

Open jre.xpi for instance, you will be prompted for installation, and 
install starts.

Do this for both files, close mozilla, restart it , go to help> about 
plugins, and Java and flash with be there in all their glory.

Much easier than downloading and compiling from the Sun site.

Added benefit: next version of mozilla, just reinstall the two .xpi 
files, and bingo!
