Are you saying that upgrading to 1.8a3 blows away Java or that it is so much better than 1.8a2 that the problems I am seeing go away? I thought of doing the upgrade (Mozilla reminds me now and then to consider doing so) but didn't want to add a variable. Right now we are preparing for the mess Hurricane Frances is about to cause to Florida so it may be later in the week before I can revisit this project in a serious way. -- Thanks! & 73, doc kd4e West Central Florida 100% Linux.

Think I just spotted the trouble "javaplugin_oji.so -> /usr/lib/java2/jre/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so", i.e in the mozilla plugins directory it should be just "javaplugin_oji.so". Regards Sid. -- Sid Boyce .... Hamradio G3VBV and keen Flyer =====LINUX ONLY USED HERE=====

It's not nice to ignore error messages. If it says "file exists" then the file exists, probably pointing to your old java installation (which I guess no longer exists). Try using ln -sf instead of just -s
