BINGO!!! I see the problem already. I didn't delete the symlinks!!!

Then again...this is what I just got when running the commands:

cd /usr/bin

[root@localhost bin]# rm java javac jar

rm: cannot lstat `java': No such file or directory

rm: cannot lstat `javac': No such file or directory

rm: cannot lstat `jar': No such file or directory

[root@localhost bin]#

I'll try your link for Java.

Nvidia working fine for the moment.

Hmmmm...Intesting....I don't recall anything about a /path/to......

Yes, Mozilla. No, Java doesn't show up. Just the puzzle-box icon when I'm on a page with Java. Yes...I was definitely in root.

Thanks, bvc!

TAG!!!! YOU"RE IT!!!!

I just did it again from the sun java site.....Followed their instructions....Nothing!

Should I have put the rpm file in a specific dir?

From where ever it sent me when it told me I needed it. It had the linux version...I chose that and nix!

I do have a GB of 2700 DDR. Perhaps after all this is said and done, you can help me remove and install the NVIDIA drivers again.

In truth, I'd like to install a bleeding edge kernel in the near future just so "I" ( ) can have yet another problem in my life to be resolved!

Also, the "Enterprise" option in the boot manager screen can't seem to find the Nvidia driver. And....I still can't get that blasted java plug-in to work. It installs....say's everything is peachy-keen....... Thus, it fails to boot into KDE

Here is what I get now. Does that look good so far?

How do you install, or confirm urpmi?

By gum....It worked!!!!!

Ok, so now I installed that kernel update, then the NVIDIA driver, now.....about that nasty little problem I was having with not getting the plug-ins to work.

Everything seems just peachy in it's opinion, yet, when I try to use....in this case a page with java on it....it says I still need the plug-in!

This is what I get from aRTs commands

[root@localhost root]# cd ..

[root@localhost /]# uname -r

2.4.22-10mdk

[root@localhost /]# urpmi --fuzzy kernel-source

no package named kernel-source

[root@localhost /]#

Trying now. Thanks!

I can't even install a Java plug-in for Mozilla. It say's it installed, but it didn't! This is insane!

The following packages have bad signatures:

/home/silverpenguin/Documents/kernel-source-2.4.22-10mdk.i586.rpm: Invalid signature ((SHA1) DSA sha1 md5 (GPG) (MISSING KEY) GPG#70771ff3 NOT OK)

Do you want to continue installation ?

This is the reply I get when trying to install that, pmpatrick. Hmmm...when I look in my desktop configure it says I have 2.4.22-10mdk.i686.....Does that matter?

Oh and I do have this kernel-2.4.22-10mdk There are two of them in there, one of them is the enterprise version. What the heck does that mean?

And, bvc, this is what the command gives me.

file /usr/src/linux

/usr/src/linux: Can't stat `/usr/src/linux' (No such file or directory)

[silverpenguin@localhost silverpenguin]$

...And....aRTee, this is what I get from the second command.

[silverpenguin@localhost silverpenguin]$ urpmi --fuzzy kernel-source

bash: urpmi: command not found

[silverpenguin@localhost silverpenguin]$

Beautiful.....Thank you!

BTW, I'm going to pick up a copy of SUSE 9 Pro this Xmas. Hope you will be handy!

Alright, I am running MDK 9.2. I, as you will soon discover am a greenhorn (newbie) when it comes to Linux anything! Two days ago I downloaded MDK 9.2 and discovered that although it identified my Nvidia Ti4600 graphics card, it lacked the driver. I went to NVIDIA and downloaded the proper driver and after discovering how to get into root and run the command, a problem ocurred!

Basically after trying to download the Kernel from NVIDIA, then trying to compile one itself, it told me this:

Unable to find the kernel header files for the current running kernel. Please make sure you have installed the kernel header files for your kernel; on RH linux systems, for example, be sure you have the 'kernel-source' RPM installed. If you know the correct kernel header files are installed, you ma6y specify the kernel included path with the '--kernel-path' commandline option.

Who-the, what-the, how-the?
