[sclug] browser plugins

[Neil Haughton]

I've put a copy of raclass.zip in the .../firefox/plugins directory, and 
j2re has been installed (I can see the  java 1.4.2_02 gcc32 plugin 
listed), and I've changed the rights on raclass.zip to rwxrwxrwx, but I 
still can't see it in Firefox.

Does raclass.zip need to be unpacked or something? I'm sure I haven't 
had this trouble before.

Neil.
