Can’t seem to find a fc3 yum repository with fluxbox (wtf!), and my windoze box is locking up every 10 minutes, so I decided to attempt a Tomcat install so I could serve up cute little baby Java servlets for somebody at work. Following instructions here, which point to here, I did the following…

wget http://www.jpackage.org/jpackage.asc

su –command=”rpm –import jpackage.asc”

cd /etc/yum.repos.d

wget http://mpeters.us/linux/jpackage.repo

yum install jpackage-utils

browse here to “Java 2 SDK, Standard Edition 1.4.2_07” and get the “RPM in self-extracting file” link

cd ~m/download

wget http://blahblahblah/j2sdk-1_4_2_07-linux-i586-rpm.bin

mv j2sdk-1_4_2_07-linux-i586-rpm.bin\blahblahblah j2sdk-1_4_2_07-linux-i586-rpm.bin

sh j2sdk-1_4_2_07-linux-i586-rpm.bin

click through the silly EULA

su –command=”rpm -ih j2sdk-1_4_2_07-linux-i586.rpm”

yum install java-1.4.2-sun-compat

Error: missing dep: j2sdk = 2000:1.4.2_06-fcs for pkg java-1.4.2-sun-compat

And that’s as far as I got… hrmphh…

maybe this will have some answers…
