Hi Walt. I'm still getting complaints from this french learning site about 
missing plugins for using IRC. The JRE plugin is installed 
in /usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so, and have  
created the link to it from /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so. 
I've also copied the plugin directly to Firefox plugins, but no go.

Stanton also said to test the JRE plugin at 
http://www.dslreports.com/stest?loc=97, and click the start button. But I 
can't find one, and there's a window on the page saying "do you want to 
install the plugin?" As far as I know, if thats referring to JRE, it's 
installed.

I must admit, that I'm at a bit of a loss at the moment, not sure whether the 
JRE is required by this french site to use IRC, and have no way to check 
whether the JRE is working. Doh.

Nigel.
