Jay,
Start by getting the jdk-1.1.5 from RedHat's FTP site or a mirror. It's in
/pub/contrib/hurricane. You should then be able to run the client with
either:
java <clientfile name WITHOUT the .class extension>
or, if they wrote it in Applet format, and distribute an HTML doc which
references the client binaries,
appletviewer <docname>.html
I haven't gotten kaffe (another run time) to work properly; at least not with
AWT graphics. I'm not sure if that is supposed to work or not... however,
kaffe is distributed with RH5.0. You'll probably want to uninstall kaffe and
guavac if you're going to install jdk. Finally, don't forget to set your
class path:
export CLASSPATH=/usr/lib/jdk-1.1.5/classes.zip:.
Hope this helps,
-Fred
