Hello and Welcome!

I'm not a RuneScape player, so I can't give details there. But for your second post, you'll need to install Rhino.
Depending on your version of Mandriva, it may be available in your package manager.
Try this in a terminal window:

urpmi rhino

okies im a noob...what is a terminal and where do i find it?

[jayd512]

A terminal is similar to a command prompt in Windows. Type in your commands to get things done.
Take a look in your Applications menu. You should see something in there called Konsole.
Once it's open, you'll need to have root permissions to install software. So first:

su -
<enter root password>
urpmi rhino

[baltharlinuxnoob]

found it [anthony@localhost ~]$ urpmi rhino
bash: urpmi: command not found
[anthony@localhost ~]$


was the result... though i dont see why id need rhino to run java...

As a new Linux user, also new to Mandriva, take a look here: http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/lin...tml#post344059

Some good info to be had there regarding software installation.

[baltharlinuxnoob]

i type su

im propted for a password

i try to type said password nothing happens

i push keys nothing shows up

[jayd512]

When typing a password in the terminal, nothing is echoed (or displayed) on the screen.
That's a built-in security feature of Linux.
