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 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? All your favorites on one personal page ?
