Hi LDJ

You need JDK 1.1 or up (on Linux the best out is Blackdown JDK) and a MySQL JDBC driver (twz or mm). 

For applets you only can use JDK 1.1.6, because this is the most currend built-in JVM in Netscape and IE. 
Or you have to use the Java plugin (really big ~10MBytes).

Kaffe is another JDK, so you don't need it in addition.

That's all.
