Suggestion: - Read what RPM is and how it works. Probably then you will understand why it is so. Also try to find out what happens when you double click in windows and in any other *Desktop Manager* like KDE, Gnome, etc. | And it should also give them option of packaging for | different versions of linux, i.e. Older your Linux the | heavier will be the setup. By heavier if you mean to say size will increase, JDK installation on all distros and versions doesn't change. Eg. RH 9, SuSE 9.3, Debian 3. If you find something else/different please *enlighten* us also. Also, it would be nice if you can share your knowledge regarding how setup.exe stuff works. It would be nice if someone incoporates the good features into rpm (package management). We don't mind RTFM (provided its available, and we don't need to pay for it.)
