By default FC4 does not ship with Java or Flash
plugins.
To install:
* Download the java plugin JRE 1.5 Update 3 from sun
from : http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp.
Download the Linux self extracting file (ends with
.bin). Do not download the .rpm package! Read the
Fedora Core 4 release notes if you want to know why.
* Run #chmod +x jre-1_5_0_03-linux-i586.bin and then
#./jre-1_5_0_03-linux-i586.bin to install the plugin.
* Move the package to /opt/ directory by running #mv
jre1.5.0_03 /opt/
* Next make a symbolic link for firefox to recognize
the plugin. #ln -s
/opt/jre1.5.0_03/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
More details at:
http://plugindoc.mozdev.org/faqs/java.html#Linux
* To install the flash plugin, just visit any page
with flash content on it. Firefox shows a message on
top of the page saying that some plugins are required
for the page. Click on the link and install flash.
