That 'one' rpm, can you name it so I might be able to find it with a
google search?
Already told you how to find it in a previous post.
Browsing the instructions on that site it says I *must* have
jpackage-utils but thats not available either in browsing the site, nor
to yumex. Presumably because there are no fc5 or fc6 versions in the
mirrorlist site.
FC6 includes a jpackage-utils to support the derivatives mentioned below.
Humm, would you believe that unpacking the 1.5.0.10.bin actually installed
it in /usr/java! And OpenOffice found it and is apparently happy with
it. Now to hunt down the old ff install and see how I'd setup the links
to make it work for fc2, and dup them. There is after all, a ready
supply of cats to skin. :-)
There are some jpackage derivatives in FC, so last I read (in FC5),
adding jpackage as a repo and running updates was "considered harmful"
unless you wanted to go all jpackage for those RPMs.
Hummm... Thanks for the warning.
