That's odd.   I didn't think that there was a JVM on the RH 
distribution, unless you're talking about what's available with gcj and 
that's not really a JVM.   Did you install your JVM on the version of RH 
that you've just upgraded from by any chance?

I don't think that MySQL 4 is considered sufficiently stable yet, or at 
least not at the time that the contents of RH9 were being finalized.
