This thread is for people working to get java and flash plugins working inside a Damn Samll Linux browser.  See also the DSL remastering Howto.  Here are some notes:

1) As of this writing, the Mozilla automatic plug-in finder grabs the wrong java version, for Mozilla >1.5.
2) The older sun version of the java plugin won't work with Firefox or Mozilla 1.5.  You'll need the "ns610-gcc32" version, compiled against gcc 3.x.
3) The "ns610-gcc32" version of the java plugin has its own dependencies.  You'll need to inistall libxtst at least.
4) Java status can be found at: http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/java.html
5) A different version of java is available from http://www.blackdown.org/
6) Opera browser tips are at http://www.opera.com/linux/docs/plugins/ and http://www.opera.com/support/search/supsearch.dml?index=459 .  Opera uses java directly now, no longer relying on the plugin.

If you have java or flash actually working, please post your instructions here!

Java works fine for DSL version 0.5.3.1 and

Opera 6.12 + Blackdown Java.  Opera does not work correctly in DSL versions 0.6.x though.

To install both, try looking here:

For Opera:

then for Java:

Great!  Now we just have to get that mastered onto the Live CD, so one does not have to download it every single time...
