That 'one' rpm, can you name it so I might be able to find it with a 
google search?

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.

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. :-)

Hummm...  Thanks for the warning.
