craig... the issue that he seems to be dealing with seems to be a function of the SUN jre required in order to run the app on the client site. i'm not sure that anything that you've pointed to relates to this specific issue. so, there again.. if you don't want to help, you can simply delete the msg, and move on.. there are others who apparently would try to offer a helping hand... a little karma goes along way.... peace... -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Craig White Sent: Saturday, October 18, 2008 3:52 PM To: Community assistance, encouragement,and advice for using Fedora.

However, others still require the proprietary Sun Java ---- for the record, I have previously suggested to OP that he is repetitive with this behavior...asking the list before he makes any attempt to find the answer himself. also for the record (and I am not the biggest fan of this), the 'Mailing List Guidelines' linked to at the bottom of each and every e-mail...the very first paragraph... Before Posting to the List There are a number of ways you can find help within your system. If you don't find the answer there, try to look into the list archives before posting a question. This is a high volume list and chances are that someone has already had the same problem you are now trying to fix. See Useful Resources below for a list of places to try.
