I was able to get the RPM downloaded and it checksummed ok, but the install
failed because "glibc >= 2.1.2-11 is needed by jre-1.3-rc1". I have
glibc-2.1.3 installed on my RedHat system.
Go figure.......
Peace.....

I tried to download the bugger last night, from three different
ftp links and the http link, and using both Netscape and Lynx.
The slightly-truncated file won't install itself because it fails
its checksum test.
Every single download hung at the last 64K of the file. I've never
had this happen before, and never on both browsers.
I was here until almost midnight last night trying to complete a
download and finally gave up. Grump.
If anyone is actually able to download the thing, could you post
something here? I'm not going to spend another hour downloading
28megs of RC until I know I have a chance of succeeding.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried. Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
