    OK, this one has me stumped. I have tried in vain to install a working
    J2RE plugin for Firefox under Fedora FC3 Linux. I have tried:

    -The Blackdown version
    -The IBM version
    -The Sun Version 1.4.2_03, 1.4.2_06, and 1.5 as JRE
    -The Sun Version as JDK

    I make the .bin executable, unpack the RPM, run the RPM, create the
    simlink in the Firefox plugins folder, create the java.sh, and when I
    do about:plugins in Firefox, I can see all the java plugins. But when I
    access a site with an Applet, Firefox implodes. This happens when I do
    the same thing for the Mozilla browser.

    I've googled this thing backwards and forwards, checked all the Linux
    forums, and there are a lot of people with the same problem. None of
    the solutions offered have worked for me.

    Suggestions?

    THANKS!

    Oh, and if this is more suitable to another group (or if my crosspost
    is blatantly inappropriate), please let me know!
