ok rather then try and follow another tutorial and have to have bersl2 rescue me again thought I would ask a straight forward question here.
I downloaded and installed java on fedora core 3.
navigating through the file system I have found the install @root
/usr/java/jdk1.50_03
inside this folder are 4 folders jre,man,lib,and samples and a few docs.
I have read that if i type java at prompt and I get command not found it is because java needs to be in the path?
And I would do this by typing @ root export PATH =$PATH:/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_03
and to make it permanent to add that line to the /etc/profile or ~/.bashrc text files
Question one:>/Is this correct?
I mainly use firefox ver1.04 its plugin folder
is located in /usr/lib/firefox-1.04/plugins
inside of this i am told needs to be a symbolic link to the java plugin.
there is one there now but it shows as being broken.
Question two: >/assuming question one was correct and I now have java in my path my symlink will either be ok now or its path may be off in which case I should delete it and try again to set the link up.
am i forgetting anything else?
thx dan
