> Get java2 from sun, untar it, cp Java2/plugin/i386/libjavaplugin_oji.so
                                                ^^^^^
                                                And thus my problem. I
thought it was write once, run anywhere!? I have a PowerPC...If you
can't get a virtual machine that runs the byte-code, what good is the
VM? OTOH, Linux is truly write once (recompile it for your
architecture), and run anywhere. Now I'm beginning to understand the
problem people have with software not being libra (free), you can't just
"do with it as you will."
