1) Go to the [["J2RE"]] download page

2) Select the Linux self-extracting file

3) Save it to a suitable location (eg /tmp)

4) Move it to the path you want to run it from (eg. /usr/local )

#mv j2re* / usr/local/

and change to this directory:

#cd / usr/local

5) Run it - as root
#sh j2re-1_4_1_01-linux-i586.bin

6) This will prompt you for a licence agreement. Accept it

7) It will then create a folder j2re1.4.1_01/

8) Then, in your ["Mozilla"] plugin directory (eg / usr/local/mozilla/plugins) , symlink libjavaplugin_oji.so
to the appropriate folder in the j2re folder created above

eg

# cd /usr/local/mozilla/plugins
# ln -s /usr/local/j2re1.4.1_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so

9) Restart mozilla and test the install - eg go to http://news.bbc.co.uk


10) Repeat the above for your phoenix plugins directory - eg

# cd /usr/local/phoenix/plugins/
# ln -s /usr/local/j2re1.4.1_01/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so libjavaplugin_oji.so
