Sorry, like I said I'm not on that FC3 machine now so
I don't have the error messages handy - I should have
waited 'till tonight to post :-/

At this point I don't know if it's a problem with Java
or a problem with JEdit, but I was at least hoping to
get a response or two from people who successfully
installed *a* JRE and used a Java application, with a
pointer to some instructions.

I want to know if the "dag" repo JRE works fine for
others.

Thanks.

Hardy
