Hope it helps. I'm not sure if it was entirely clear, but "JRE" means you need to have a Java Runtime Environment (basically you need to have java) on your linux machine. I don't know if Red Hat has official packages for java. If not, you can install Sun's java for linux from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html You only need the Run Time (JRE) to run programs, and not the Software Development Kit (SDK), which is a much bigger download. There is another java implementation for linux, at http://www.blackdown.org/ Both implementations are free-as-in-beer, but not free-as-in-liberty. John McPherson
