However, I am, in fact, interested in making adjustments to the Wiki page - but sadly not the ones you proposed Bob, since the just won't do the trick. I have to admitt, I don't recall the above instructions (provided at Sun/Oracle's web site - with the links to download the Sun Java SDK package) ever doing any good. So, Ralph (or any other Wiki admin) would you be kind enough to escalate my privileges in order for me to edit the JavaOnCentOS Wiki? Of course, if we get to it, I'll make sure we discuss it thoroughly on the mailing list before the changes go public. -- *Milos Blazevic* Cert.
