I have installed many versions many times. It is easy to lose track of which versions are installed. Also, I think I'm unfamiliar with how to uninstall the Sun package. I assume it is simply rm -r /usr/java/jre1xxx. Uninstalling the SuSE RPM's is also simple. So, that is what I'll do now, uninstall every trace of java. Next, which version of Java should I install that has the greatest chance of working with Firefox? (And where
do I obtain the java packages SuSE expects?)

OK, I've removed java (as far as I know how), and I've reinstalled from RPM. rpm -U java-1_5_0-sun.rpm rpm -U java-1_5_0-sun-plugin.rpm These were downloaded from the following site: http://ftp.univie.ac.at/systems/linux/suse/update/10.2/rpm/i586/ Then I ran SuSEconfig just to be sure. Still the same problem. The plugin shows it loads from about:plugins, but the "Applet notinited" messages appear and the red "X" shows in the corner. Is it possible that the java version I just installed is still wrong for the system I'm running? Below is some output of the version info of firefox and java respectully. snc19385:~/javainst # file /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-sun/bin/java /usr/lib/jvm/jre-1.5.0-sun/bin/java: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.2.5, stripped snc19385:~/javainst # find / -name firefox-bin /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin snc19385:~/javainst # file /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin /usr/lib/firefox/firefox-bin: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.4, stripped Again, thank you for helping such a lost soul. ~Dale -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
