You probably wanted > the binary RPM (.i386.rpm I'd think). I suggest using yum to install jedit. Its available in the jpackage repository (www.jpackage.org) I have the following lines in /etc/yum.conf: # # JPackage (Java repository) # [jpackage15-generic] name=JPackage 1.5 for Cross Platform Packages baseurl=http://mirrors.sunsite.dk/jpackage/1.5/generic/free/ #gpgcheck=1 (There may be a more appropriate mirror site - all details at the jpacage site. Also, I've commented out the gpgcheck line here - the instructions to switch it on are on the jpackage site) Then you just type (as root) yum install jedit Now, you can't get much simpler than that :-) -- nick
