Erm...can i ask a stupid question..does installing java plug-in in to mozilla firefox directly means that i can use java-based application(like azereus) in my mandriva one?

Once you followed the instructions, make sure the command :

java -version

outputs something like

java version "1.5.0_09"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_09-b01)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_09-b01, mixed mode, sharing)

You don't have to create that directory. The installer will create it itself.

Just make sure you are in the right directory, before doing

chmod +x jre-1_5_0_09-linux-i586-rpm.bin

So enter the directory you downloaded the file and do

ls

to make sure the file is there.

Once you ensured the file is there, then you can just type "chmod +x jre" and hit TAB. It will autocomplete the name of the file. Much easier that way.
