[fedora-java] newbie question - Tomcat 4 instead of Tomcat 5 on FC4 - continued

[Bob Hartung]

No luck so far.  I have done the following:
1.  modified jpackage.repo commenting out all the sections except 
'[jpackage-fc]'.
2.  run 'yum remove tomcat5*'
     Reported success
3.  run 'yum install tomcat4*'
     Reports:  "No Match for argument: tomcat4"

So this would suggest to me that tomcat4 is no longer available via yum. 
  Is my next best choice to simply get the tar.gz file and manually set 
up the init.d stuff and edit the files to set $Catalina_Home?  Remember, 
this is my FIRST exposure to Java and the naming conventions boggle the 
mind - i.e. java, containers, struts, jakarta, ...

Thanks again,

Bob
