Okay since no quick repsonses here is my problem:

I am trying to get my java applets running in firefox. If I access any page with java applet I get the sun revolving around the word "Java" but the progress bar never seems to progress and eventually my firefox browser gets stuck and I have to kill it.
I have installed java using the rpm :jre-1_5_0_02-linux-i586.rpm
Just having a hard time installing java plugin:).

I know the FC4 release notes tell you to stay away from Sun\'s Java RPM. The reason they give has to do with certain "provides" statements that could break Java after the next round of updates to other packages but I thought there may be a work around really not an issue.

any help?.
