First of all let me apologize for my poor english. Please be patient and read the following with care
.I'm using Puppy only from the latest version and trying to be familiar with it (its easy
). So I decided to install Java to enable Java in Seamonkey and to use Tonicpoint, a Java-based slideshow viewer. At that time I had poor experience with Puppy and the forum, so I downloaded the latest Java package from Sun and extracted it to /usr/java. I run the installer (following the instructions from the Sun website) and got a 85Mb directory.Seamonkey:
I symlinked the libjavaplugin_oji.so from /usr/java/jre1.5.0_10/plugin/i386/ns7 to the /usr/lib/seamonkey-1.0.6/plugins directory (simply dragged and dropped libjavaplugin_oji.so from one to another and from the menu choosed Link (relative). Then I enabled Java in Seamonkey (Edit/Preferences/Advanced/Enable Java) restarted the browser and tested the installation at http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp website. Worked fine. Now I know that there is a pup file from Java: "http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=5448"
Tonicpoint:
I downloaded the latest .jar file from http://tonicsystems.com/products/viewer/ and copied it to /usr/java/jre1.5.0_10/lib. Then I right-clicked on the tonicpoint.jar file, choosed "Set run action" and typed /usr/java/jre1.5.0_10/bin/java -jar "$@" to the shell command line. After that I dropped the tonicpoint.jar file to the desktop clicked on it and everything worked fine. All description above is based on these forum threads "http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewto ... 2&start=15".
I hope you can use this description with success.
Best,
Matu
