How do you get Java working on NBR? I followed steps I found online and rebooted but for some game sites like www.pogo.com it says it cant locate it on my system?

Code:

SECTION 1:
========
Proceed to http://www.java.com
Click on the big blue button labeled: Free Java Download
Click on and save the SECOND item, Linux (self-extracting file), to /tmp.

SECTION 2:
========
Open a Terminal
Run:  cd /usr/lib/jvm
Run:  sudo  chmod  755  /tmp/jre-6u13-linux-i586.bin
Run:  sudo  /tmp/jre-6u13-linux-i586.bin
         (continue to hit the space bar to scroll thru the agreement and type "yes" at the end)
         This will extract the contents into /usr/lib/jvm/jre1.6.0_13

SECTION 3:
========
Run: cd ..
Run: sudo rm default-java
Run: sudo ln -s jre1.6.0_13  default-java

SECTION 4:
========
Run: cd /etc/alternatives
Run: sudo rm java javaws
Run: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/java  java
Run: sudo ln -s /usr/lib/jvm/default-java/bin/javaws  javaws

For future release installs of JRE, you only need to repeat similar steps in Sections 1, 2 & 3.
