Eric,
No, it doesn't. In fact that is how I have been checking each time I make a
change.

OK, SuSE 8.2 - Mozilla 1.4rc3 - Blackdown 2-1.4.1 - GCC 3.3

OK, made the link as root. Now I have java in the mozilla about plugins html
page. And they kind of work. Load very very slowly. There is one page I go to
frequently that has about 10 applets (fphover) that takes a full one to two
minutes to load. And, my links are backwards to the above example. Mozilla
is in /usr/local and Blackdown is in /usr/lib. Following is the link I used:
ln -s /usr/lib/BlackdownJava2-1.4.1/jre/plugin/i386/mozilla/javaplugin_oji.so
/usr/local/mozilla/plugins
There is also a directory /usr/lib/browser-plugins Has some of my plugins in
it. Probably I created it myself fooling around with this? It is dated just
a few days ago.
Thanks for your help. This advice will be stored in my personal "help"
archives for future reference. Now all I have to figure out is why the
applets are loading so sloooooowly.

Thanks again, If you have any ideas on the slow loading I would like to hear
them.
