I installed SO 5.2 WITH a working JRE. It was on a Corel 1.1/Debian
Distro with a JDK native threads package (from Debian 2.2 Potato). It's
important to use the native threads version rather than the green threads
one.

This is true. I would never install SO on a linux machine without the /net
option. Even if there's only one user on the machine.
I've installed SO 52 for windoze on machines as an alternative to
Micro$oft Office. The windoze version comes with its own JRE.
