I've tested this a couple of times on F8rc3 Live. So if there are changes with F8 or differences with the DVD install I don't know yet. Please let me know how it works. I'm planning on making a web page with instructions and info when I have some :-). How to get Sun's Java running on F8rc3 As root - 1) Download the Sun Java Linux RPM from java.sun.com and install it. 2) Fix the Xinerama bug with sed -i 's/XINERAMA/FAKEEXTN/g' /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_03//jre/lib/i386/xawt/libmawt.so Save a copy if you want to restore it to original. 3) Put the link to /usr/java/jdk1.6.0_03/jre/plugin/i386/ns7libjavaplugin_oji.so into /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins 4) Install compat-libstdc++-33 5) Remove nspluginwrapper Now you should be able to compile and run Java applications, run Java Applets in Firefox and load and run Java Web Start programs. -- Knute Johnson Molon Labe... -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
