Then there should be hope for me as well. But I must admit that I have
not dived into this
java plugin stuff so much before, (under Fedora Core 5 it was just to
enter the softlink
.._oji.so in /home/.../.mozilla/plugins and then everyting played nicely.
So there is a lot of new stuff now that I try to bring under control.
Therefore I am compelled to ask more uninformed questions:
rpm -e ? I.e: What should I enter after the erase clause to make sure
that I get it all
erased?
java-1.6.0-openjdk ,jre-1.6.0-openjdk etc appears in several directories
(Dolphin Find File search)
/usr/lib/jvm
/usr/lib/jvm-exports
/usr/share
I want to make sure that I know what I am doing now, which I am not
sure that I do,
because there is quite a flow of details to manage.
