wow. i messed up real good LOL

i found the folder and found flash plugins so i knew i was in the right
spot. so i try to follow the java instructions which i must have read
while having poop in my eyes…

cp javafile folder

don’t work… → re-read manual
omg ofcourse! it’s “ln” and not “cp”

ln javafile folder

shell says something bout creating “hard link” so i’m like “great lets
have a look” (i test it with trying to open runescape which is a game
that uses java)
“java seems not to be installed and the applet cannot be run. click
here to learn how to enable java in your browser”

so i go through the enabling steps with a lot of trouble because the
preferences layout has changed since the manual was written and FINALLY
i find that… java was already enabled… → fail → re-read manual

oh man… i forgot the -s parameter…

ln -s javafile folder

->WORK!

thanks man!! :smiley: that worked 100% :smiley: (at least if ur not a dummy like me
^^ )

ps: in total, enabling java took me about 3.5 hours
