I ran Get_Libre again and this time chose 3.6.6 (it offers me that or 4.0.4). And 3.6.6 works.

For clean-up purposes, do I need to uninstall 4.0.4? Is it still somewhere on my hard-drive or would 3.6.6 have overwritten it?

The file I downloaded is called: jre-7u21-linux-i586.tar.gz I thought I extracted and installed it somewhere yesterday but now I can't figure out where. In SeaMonkey, under Preferences, Advanced, I see scripts and plugins - there JavaScript is enabled. But I don't see any mention of Java elsewhere i...

I just installed Wary Puppy today (booting from a CD) and this is my first experience with any Linux. In trying to surf with the SeaMonkey version that came with Puppy, I realized that Java wasn't installed. I think I've managed to install it, but Java still isn't showing up in the add-ins.
