I tried to install Java in Firefox and after the download I get an
error saying the package is unsigned and installation halts. Have
got the same response with another widely used package. Using the
x86_64 live spin. What to do?

Dave

try yum localinstall javapackage

not a smart idea - usually ANY fedora package is signed

missing signatures should be a WARNING SINGAL and not
ignored like trained monkeys confirm any SSL warning
in a webbrowser



it isn't a fedora package. I wanted to used a js app in firefox and it needed the plugin and went looking for one. the download came from Oracle. I have some criticisms of Oracle as a firm but I suppose they can be trusted to that extent. Anyway I'll try that suggestion when I get back to that computer.

Thanks!

still go on buying more soap, eating more apples, giving their children more
vitamins, roughage, milk, olive oil, scooters and laxatives, learning more
languages by iPod, hearing more virtuosos by radio, re-decorating their
houses, refreshing themselves with more non-alcoholic thirst-quenchers,
cooking more new, appetizing dishes, affording themselves that little extra
touch which means so much? Or would the whole desperate whirligig slow
down, and the exhausted public relapse upon plain grub and elbow-grease?
