[ale] Installing j2se on RHEL 3?

[Denny Chambers]

I never use the RPM when installing on linux. I always use the self 
extracting file, which just unpacks the image in what ever directory you 
run it in. I have not tried this on RHEL, but it works fine on the FC 
distros.

Unix IS user friendly - it's just picky about it's friends.
