[user@localhost ~]$ sudo bash
[root@localhost ~]# cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[root@localhost plugins]# ln -s /usr/java//jre/plugin/i386/ns7/ libjavaplugin_oji.so
ln: creating symbolic link `libjavaplugin_oji.so': File exists

Here's the deal.
ive installed java, and created a 'symbolic link' between the java plugin and mozilla firefox 2.
if i type about(colon)plugins into the address bar, java is listed as an enabled plugin as such:

Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_17-b04

File name: libjavaplugin_oji.so
Java(TM) Plug-in 1.6.0_17

followed by a list of MIME types etc..

my question is, why wont for example runescape work? it appears java isnt working properly...

help is much appreciated.

linpus linux lite is pretty crippled, might be easier to install a newer more fully featured distro, which would probably have less problems, firefox2 is really old now which could be the issue over java not working, if you open a terminal and run command "java -version" you should see something which lets you know java is OK
