I am informed by a website that I have a browser that doesn't support Java and so it will not go any further with whatever it might display. This happened in Netscape and Konqureor both. Is there a plug-in I should get and use, or some kind of modification of the kernel (brrr!) of what?

The Java Plug-In 1.3 for Netscape 4.x and Mozilla is available as part of J2SE 1.3.
and for those who don't read README's:
Java Plug-In install instructions: ==================================
Please remove older plug-in versions before installing the 1.3.1-FCS plug-in. E.g. remove ~/.netscape/plugins/javaplugin.so and ~/.netscape/java/.
* Netscape 4
Create a symbolic link from <Java2 SDK installation>/jre/plugin/<ARCH>/netscape4/javaplugin.so to one of the directories Netscape 4 searches for plug-ins. E.g.
% ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/netscape4/javaplugin.so \ ~/.netscape/plugins/
or
% su # become root % ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/netscape4/javaplugin.so \ /usr/lib/plugins/
Note: It has to be a symbolic link, copying javaplugin.so will NOT work
* Mozilla / Netscape 6
Create a symbolic link from <Java2 SDK installation>/jre/plugin/<ARCH>/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so to one of the directories Mozilla/Netscape 6 searches for plug-ins. E.g.
% ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so \ ~/mozilla-0.9.2/plugins/ or % su # become root % ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1.3.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so \ /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
Note: It has to be a symbolic link, copying javaplugin_oji.so will NOT work
