The Fedora Core distribution is exclusively made up of Open Source software. The Sun (and IBM and BEA) JDK is not Open Source, so it won't be a part of FC. Even if that rule was to be "bent", Sun has distribution restrictions on the JDK that would keep it out of FC. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
