suitable browser for slitaz 3.0

Hi

I think midori does not support java plugin .

I got 3GB packages iso since I don't have internet connection .

Installed firefox 3.5.7 (does not matter if it is old ) . Worked ok except http://java.com/en/download/testjava.jsp says 'something is wrong . java not working.'

What should I install ?

Re: suitable browser for slitaz 3.0

Though I have installed java-jre from dvdbox

'java -version' says

java version "1.6.0_0"

OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea6 1.6.1) (build 1.6.0_0-b16)

OpenJDK Server VM (build 14.0-b16, mixed mode)

Still I get 'something is wrong . java is not working' in firefox .

Iced Tea 6 won't work. You need the real java provide by the get-java6-jre package, which is a meta-package that downloads the real java from Oracle's site.

Finally I had to ditch idectea6 (jre & jdk did not help) .

I had jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin

I did as follows

cd <folder-having-jre-bin>

./jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin

#a folder jre1.6.0_29 will  get created

mv jre1.6.0_29 /usr/java

#Now create a link in firefox installation directory as follows

cd /usr/lib/firefox-3.5.7/plugin

ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_29/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so

Now testjava link says 'your java is working . java update available.'
