It just doesn't adds the Java plugin to Firefox. But I heard FC6 can do that using alternatives... []s, Fernando Lozano
Hi Fernando, Thanks for reporting that your script works fine on Fc6. It should make getting a JPackage compliant install of Sun's Java on Fedora just about as easy as the Ubuntu folks can (they have it in their repo as they are a bit more liberal in what licenses they accept). I'll be doing a clean install of Fc6 on my home system this weekend. I'll try your script and report back on my success. Dustin
