Anyone else having trouble downloading the java plugin in the respository. It dies at 10% for me every time. Also, is firefox 8.0 or 9.2? I see both referenced in the info file. Would 8.0 be better for older machines or does it matter? Thanks

either ff will work fine, use the turbo option enter about:config in the url bar....................if you have broadband or adsl then just visit www.trimar.co.uk this will auto install java for  you

I'm guessing by the timestamp on the file, that I was uploading a newly rebuilt
j2re1.4.2.tar.gz at the same time you were attempting to download it.

The firefox is still the 0.8 version. I grabbed some text off the mozilla
website for the .info file, since I was not sure of it's source.
( probably a debian-type repository )
My text was not proofed very well..  Thanks for the heads-up..

Thanks for the info, Kent.

BTW - is flash already part of the firefox.tar.gz or do we need another .dsl? Thanks

Already in there...  no need for an extension.
Lots of fun stuff to watch at www.macromedia.com

type "about:plugins" into your firefox browser url line.
That displays the ones you have already installed.
With the j2re1.4.2.tar.gz extension installed, mine shows java as well.
