I am looking to make the Knoppix box perform the same as the wimpdoze box does when browsing the web.

By using a combo of a hosts file and a program called eDexter ads and other stuff is filtered out by specifing a bad IP for the host, 127.0.0.1

eDexter takes and filters out the broken image graphic with a nice blank image, so unless the site has tell tale indicators you will never know the stuff was there. :)

There is a version for Linux, eDexter JavaDog http://www.accs-net.com/hosts/eDexter.html#eDexterJavaDog which is a Java JAR file.

In looking at sites and the forum what I found is either about SDK's, IDE's, or compiling with gccj, not running programs under the JVM.

What I am after is how to run the JAR file under linux, have it start up automatically (bootmisc.sh obvisouly) just need the command which is most likely the same as above.

I want to get this filtering set up on my Knoppix box to get rid of those ads etc..

Thanks in advance.

Download the JRE from Sun's website at http://java.sun.com. Install the JRE. Set up your PATH variable to also point to the bin directory of the JRE installation.

Now you're set to run your JAR file. Just type java -jar jar-file
