Not really, but then that's why I'm asking the questions.

It would seem that the doc is obsolete BECAUSE Sun Java Runtime
Environment 1.4.2 has been released and therefore that's what is current
for Mozilla.

Not me:

rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           12 2002-12-27 05:53 SunJava2 ->
SunJava2-1.3/
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           14 2002-12-27 05:17 SunJava2-1.3
-> SunJava2-1.3.1/
drwxr-xr-x    3 root     root         4096 2002-12-27 05:17
SunJava2-1.3.1/

This is what I downloaded last night:

-rw-r--r--    1 kevin1   users       54212 2003-08-29 22:12
j2re-1.4.1-01-linux-i586-gcc3.2.bin
-rw-------    1 kevin1   users    13573048 2003-08-29 20:25
j2re-1_4_2_01-linux-i586-rpm.bin

What I find interesting and would like to know is:

Why Konqueror "works" but Mozilla doesn't?  Can anyone 'splain this?
What's JAVA got to do with it?
