How to enable Java on Linux?
I have just finished downloading and installing java on my acer netbook on linux. (jre-6u23-linux-rpm.bin) I know need help Enabling it as i dont understand how to. I am taking instructions from this website http://www.java.com/en/download/help/linux_install.xml#rpm but i dont understand the final part of enabling and configuring it. I have used the directory cd /home/user which worked when i was installing it and im pretty sure i own firefox3.6 on my netbook.
Can someone PLEASE tell me how to enable and configure it as i really dont understand ( please give as a step to step guide) Will give best answer to whoever explains it well. Thank you (:

If you have Firefox installed, then your plugins directory is located in
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
You’ll need root, su or sudo to do this part.
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/
ln -s ~/jre1.6.0_23/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so
(I don’t know the path you installed Java in so I used a ~, replace that with the exact path)
