You have to "run" the .bin file, it's a shell-script wrapper that will ask you to agree to a license before it unpacks the RPM, since RPM can't handle stuff like that and corporate entities usually want/require that crud. One you run the file (type ./j2re...rom.bin), it'll pop up the agree in a pager - hit the spacebar to go to the next page. At the end, it'll ask you to type in 'yes' or 'i agree' or something like that, then it unpacks the .rpm (same name as the original file sans the .bin) which you can then install. I believe it'll setup everything for you then, tho you may need to follow the symlinks as per the other response to your message. > > > > > > Joshua Legbandt : > > > > >On Sat, 2003-10-18 at 22:01, Mel Seder wrote: > > > > > > > > >>Does anyone know of an RPM that will set Java up on Fedora Core > > 0.95 so > > >>that I can play backgammon on Yahoo Games? > > >> > > >> > > > > > >I've been successfully using j2re 1.4.1 from blackdown.org to play > > yahoo > > >games... > > > > > >-josh > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > > fedora-list mailing list > > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list > > > ===== > The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him > absolutely no good. -Samuel Johnson, lexicographer (1709-1784) > > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list -- Sean Middleditch <elanthis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> AwesomePlay Productions, Inc.
