Linux

What?

On your command line where you think the program is located, type in the following command:

Code:

ls -l > output

Next, also on the same command line, type in the following command:

Code:

tail -100 .bash_history >> output

You will then have a file named output in that directory. Bring up your web browser and open a file, then open output. Using your mouse, highlight all the lines that appear in the file. Open a new message here, make sure the edit window has the focus, right click and click on Paste. Post the message and wait for a reply

I'm getting ready to hit the sack so I probably won't be the replyer unless no one replies by the time I log back in in the morning.

I fixed and installed flash player.

Now, go to java.com and http://start.mandriva.com/?r=Mandriva%20Linux%20release%202006.0%20(Community)%20for%20i586&l=en-US?r=Mandriva%20Linux%20release%202006.0%20(Community)%20for%20i586&l=en-US
please.

I really need this for work.

Are you now trying to get & install Java?
Would this be for Firefox by any chance?
You might be better trying here http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Try the Linux RPM first, download the file to your Mandriva system and then from a shell prompt run rpm -ivh yourjavafile.rpm
Change the 'yourjavafile.rpm' to the name of the file you downloaded.
That should then install J2RE for you. You may need to go into your Firefox setup and tell it where the java runtime is. To find out the path of the java runtime type the following at a shell prompt
whereis java
By default, the path should be /usr/bin/java

Irish Jimmy. Read the rules a number of which you persist in breaking. If you continue to do so I will enforce rule 13.
