Thanks, M

This is for Intel Core2 Duo, so I've downloaded AMD64 (same instruction
set) from java.com and then (as per
http://java.com/en/download/help/5000011300.xml#download) run the
binary:

but both yum and rpm fail to do anything more (unlike the instructions):

ie there is no jre* subdir...

Any ideas what's going on?
