Previously I had tried to install this rpm; however, I would keep getting a message saying; "read manifest failed, success" and I didn't understand what it ment. Needless to say I didn't even think to look in prescribed directory until I read Carl's web page.

However, I cannot use Java in Mozilla. The option isn't available to use. The words JAVA CONSOLE are on the tool bar, but the words aren't bold.

I used /etc/profile.d because /etc/profile doesn't exist in my system.

Thank you for the reply,
