  1. You are correct. I was just hoping that among all the problems it might have, that a simple java plug-in wouldn't be one of them . :(

     

    Yes, I did remove it first. I think a book I read told me it was unwise to try to run an updated program over an old one. Thus....it went bye-bye! :jester:

     

    Thanks for your help guys. I'm going to remove this version and go with a stable one. ......However, does that me I need to re-install the java software again as well?

  3. I think I found my problem. This is on Mozilla's site now when I went back to download an update to my 1.4 browser.

     

     

     

    Linux (x86)

     

    The original Linux builds were built with the wrong compiler and are incompatible with some plugins and extensions. The builds have been replaced as of 01:00 UTC on December 11. To distinguish the builds, look in about:buildconfig, in the "Build tools" section, next to the line starting with "c++". The old, incorrect build will say "gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-81)". The new, correct build will say "gcc version 3.2.3" (just as it does on the previous line).

    Full Installer (12 MB) Download all of the Mozilla components and then specify install options.

    Net Installer (80 KB) Download only the components you specify.

    tar.gz format (12 MB).

  4. Well, I had problems getting KDE up while in su mode....So....I deleted the whole shabang and am now starting over. If anything I figured I seriously needed the experience.

     

    On of my problems might have been that I had deleted my old Mozilla 1.4 and went for the 1.6. Maybe I went awry somewhere along the line? If anything this should be a good practice run for SUSE 9 PRO. ;)

     

    Now I need to find that link to update my kernel, then fix my graphics again, then Java. Hmmm...perhaps even upgrade Mozilla again. I figure I need to learn this stuff one way or another...and I seem to learn best when I put myself into a do or die situation.

  5. Perhaps it is a matter of where you obtained your version. I, for one, picked mine up from a Linux magazine. It was a dvd with three or four cd's worth on it. Perhaps I shall have more luck with Suse 9 Pro when I pick up a copy for X-mas. So far I like Linux. I just think they need to simplify the updating/new program installation/un-install functions before the majority will give it a serious look over M$. It is not like I am a complete ignoramous :cheeky: ....I'm fairly good about following instructions. I just hope that my problems I'm having will serve me well in the future by the extra bit of knowledge I'm forced to digest. At the moment though...I seriously identify with this character.....----> :wall:
