Adding Java to SUSE 10.0 Gold OSS (and non-GPL kernel)

I have a problem with YOU and so can't add the Java repositories and just update from there. I can download from FTP to a local directory and then point YaST to it and update from there. So please tell me, which among the following packages should I download and install, just to have Java support in Konqueror (and Firefox). I mean, if Konq (or Firefox) sees a page with a Java applet, it should start running it. That's all I need. I don't need SDK or Java-based development. java-1_4_2-gcj-compat-1.4.2.0-9.i586.rpm java-1_4_2-g cj-compat-devel-1.4.2.0-9.i586.rpm java-1_4_2-sun-1.4.2.06-5.i586.rpm java-1_4_2-sun-alsa-1.4.2.06-5.i586.rpm java-1_4_2-sun-demo-1.4.2.06-5. i586.rpm java-1_4_2-sun-devel-1.4.2.06-5.i586.rpm java-1_4_2-sun-jdbc -1.4.2.06-5.i586.rpm java-1_4_2-sun-plugin-1.4.2.06-5.i586.rpm java-1 _4_2-sun-src-1.4.2.06-5.i586.rpm java-1_5_0-sun-1.5.0_03-2.i586.rpm j ava-1_5_0-sun-alsa-1.5.0_03-2.i586.rpm java-1_5_0-sun-demo-1.5.0_03-2.i5 86.rpm java-1_5_0-sun-devel-1.5.0_03-2.i586.rpm java-1_5_0-sun-jdbc-1 .5.0_03-2.i586.rpm java-1_5_0-sun-plugin-1.5.0_03-2.i586.rpm Have I missed any packages? I use KDE. Do I need kdebindings3-java-3.4.2-8.i586.rpm too? Also: what are all these non-GPL kernel packages: kernel-bigsmp-nongpl-2.6.13-15.i586.rpm kernel-default-nongpl-2.6.1 3-15.i586.rpm kernel-smp-nongpl-2.6.13-15.i586.rpm kernel-um-nongpl-2 .6.13-15.i586.rpm kernel-xen-nongpl-2.6.13-15.i586.rpm What's special in them? Thanks, SS.

For Firefox, these two:
java-1_4_2-sun-1.4.2.06-5.i586.rpm java-1_4_2-sun-plugin-1.4.2.06-5.i586.rpm
Konqueror doesn't need -plugin. cheers, Sonja -- Sonja Krause-Harder (skh@suse.de) Research & Development SUSE Linux Products GmbH

OK but I need to install at least java-1_4_2-sun-1.4.2.06-5.i586.rpm for Konq, right? And why have you said 1_42 and not 1_50? Thanks.

Because I'm very conservative and still not sure that every java applet you might encounter out there works flawlessly with java 1.5.0. On the other hand, new applets that use new language features of Java 1.5 will not work with 1.4.2. So, in case you find an applet that doesn't work with your installed java, try the other. For most applets it shouldn't matter. Sonja -- Sonja Krause-Harder (skh@suse.de) Research & Development SUSE Linux Products GmbH
