I have installed both: jdk-6u5-linux-i586-rpm.bin jre-6u5-linux-i586-rpm.bin But no Java plugin in Firefox. I go to: http://java.com/en/download/help/enable_browser.xml And yes, Java is enabled but still get the dreaded 'download plugin'. I seem to recall some magic linking needed, but my docs are in Freemind that I can't get installed either.....
