I tried that with FC6, just a few days ago. The Sun site had moved onto Java 1.6.0, which didn't work (installed, no errors, just doesn't appear to work when I tested it). I've just had another bash, making sure I got all the new paths right. The Java test page (*) doesn't work with Java 1.6.0 (no results are shown, it's blank in the test part), but I don't know if that's just the test page. I don't know a site using Java to test it with, but the games I tried on the Sun site didn't work. Today, when I tried the link from the Stanton-Finley site, Sun didn't redirect me to the latest, but stayed at the release number the link was intended for (1.5.x). It's now jre1.5.0_10 instead of jre1.5.0_8, so the paths in the examples to copy and paste need correcting. That done, it worked, but the test page wants to install a JRE plug in, even though it's apparently working, and tells me I'm using an old version. The games apparently work (not that *I* can play them). Anybody care to make suggestions? Stick with the old version, solutions to make the current version work? It was the "current" release version I tried, not the latest, not yet release-version, version. * Java test page: <http://www.java.com/en/download/help/testvm.xml> -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
