Try running sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get install sun-java6-plugin.

Let's do it and don't screw it.

Hi Unia
thanks for your help

first,   sudo apt-get update went well
second, sudo apt-get-sun-java6-plugin went well too,
the new issue is that sun has a long list filling up the terminal, the problem is at the end there is a <ok> but i have no way to make a 'accept' , hitting enter key does not response. so i could not response to it.

what did i do wrong? and how to correct it?
thank again

Hi arochester,
thanks for your tip.
yes, it worked out by tabbing so that i can enter when cursor moved to <ok> and <yes>
so installation went find

new issue,
it won't run. so i figure out i need to uninstall the existing IcedTea.
after that, unfortunately i still cannot run when website required sun jre, i see that it started but had error running.
surprisingly, other distros does not have trouble running it once sun jre is installed.
