In order to install a paticular Java plugin for Firefox it said I needed to use a symbolic link in the plugins directory.. Could someone explain how to symbolically link? I found some articals on google but I was lost in the terminology.
Thanks in Advance!

A symbolic link ( or symlink ) is like a shortcut in windows.
You can make them in the GUI ( KDE ) by draging and droping, but i'll explain how to do it on the command line.
The command is 'ln' - link. And the option is '-s' for symbolic. So ..
ln -s /home/some/fileordirectory /home/the/target
( from ) (to)
Hope this helps.
