One bank, NAB OTToMH, has different case between the Java and the files, so 
you need to mount a small virtual disk with a case-blind filesystem like FAT 
in the right place before installing it.

With Sun's Java, Mozilla works fine. Mandrake are currently struggling to get 
a JDK compiled under gcc 3.1 for their release 9.0. IIRC, get the Java 
install for Mozilla right and you can set Konqueror to use it as well.

Konqueror has a great feature: per-site UserAgent spoofing. Tell a problem 
site that you have a specific version of IE or NS if it refuses you 
admission, and see how good your luck gets.
