Keith, out of curiosity I just downloaded Phoenix from 
Texstar. I just issued the command (as root) : 
urpmi phoenix
and watched the text scroll by. No problems whatsoever.
Then, I ran Phoenix, it seems a bit meager and not 
noticeable faster then Mozilla, but certainly slower then 
Konqueror and Opera. Then, trying to view a 
java-*enriched* page, it stopped and prompted me to 
download java, although java already resides on the box. I 
did that nevertheless ( must be done as root ! ) and again 
without any glitches. Now I have two java plugins ;-)

However, I intend to get rid of it again.
