Re: [ydl-gen] Java on PS3-YDL 6.2

Hi Robert

Fixstars have posted a howto on ydl.net for getting IBM's Java working 
with Firefox - see 
http://www.ydl.net/support/solutions/ydl_general/firefox-java.shtml for 
the Howto with the runtime environment available here 
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux/download.html.

Other browsers that come with YDL 6.2 are text-based elinks, lynx and 
w3m with Konqueror available if you install KDE. The Epipheny browser is 
not available within the YDL repositories but is available with Fedora 
Core 6 - 
http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/6/ppc/os/Fedora/RPMS/epiphany-2.16.0-4.fc6.ppc.rpm. 


Dillo and Seamonkey can be compiled from source (I've compiled Dillo but 
not Seamonkey).

All the best


Pat
