hi..
Can someone please tell me whay it's apparently difficult to install
java sdk on FC4...
Sun's licensing terms preclude distribution by third parties.
it appears that i have to do ...

or, is there a rpm package that i can get my hands on...
That *is* the RPM package. It's just that you have to build it
yourself.
The JPackage RPMs are designed to integrate properly with Fedora. The
Sun RPMs are broken. The Sun .bin distribution doesn't integrate at
all. If all you want is the browser plugin, it doesn't matter much, but
if you are doing anything more sophisticated than that, you definitely
want to follow the JPackage Way.
It looks scary at first, but it's really not that hard...
Matthew, I've been trying to get Azureus working, and it looks like java
problems, so I tried to follow this. Version numbers have moved on, but
I got the Sun package. I hit problems with finding the jpackage, though.
I got as far as http://mirrors.dotsrc.org/jpackage/1.7/generic/non-free/
but I can't find any package that looks to be right. Could you take a
look and re-direct me, please?
Try my updated guide:

OK - one step further, then another problem. It seems I'm not getting the key
installed. I tried
rpm --import c431416d
error: c431416d: import read failed(-1).
You have no file called c431416d. You don't need to do that anyway.

You are building the package as root. Don't do that. Just follow the
instructions carefully. jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin should be in the
~/rpmbuild/SOURCES directory of the non-root account you build the
package as.

Is this entirely the key issue? What command should I have used?
The key issue is just a warning and can be ignored.
Paul.
