That's why the FC4 release notes advise against installing the Sun > RPM. This is absolutely correct. There are "provides" conflicts between the Fedora gcj package and Sun's java RPM. When I say the default installation location is /opt, I should be clear in saying that it's the Sun .tar.gz that installs there (and is the method recommended by the JPackage folks if you don't want to use their software). When you install the Sun package, make sure you do so as root and that X is accessible as the package brings up an X based installer where you agree to licensing terms, set the installation location (default of /opt) and get some progress bars. -- Chris "I trust the Democrats to take away my money, which I can afford.
