managed to get this far:

[root@7 i386]# pwd
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_04/plugin/i386
[root@7 i386]# ls -al
total 24
drwxr-xr-x 5 root bin 4096 Jun 8 14:27 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 root bin 4096 Jun 7 23:13 ..

You want to find your mozilla plugins directory ( usually
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins or /usr/lib/mozilla-1.6/plugins ) and then make
a link to the libjavaplugin_oji.so in the plugins directory.

so something like

[root@host:#]cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
[root@host:#] ln -s
/usr/java/j2re1.4.2_04/plugin/i386/ns610-gcc32/libjavaplugin_oji.so .

and that will do the trick.
