Instead, they try to hide stuff by using hidden directories in /etc: The
package contains:
/etc/.java/.systemPrefs/.system.lock
/etc/.java/.systemPrefs/.systemRootModFile
This looks somewhat strange to me.
Btw, I tried installing jdk-6u1-linux-i586.rpm on a RHEL5 Client system
today, without luck. After creating the symbolic link in
/usr/lib/mozilla/plugins as usual, about:plugins in Firefox showed the
Java plugin, but no Applets worked. Using jdk-1_5_0_10-linux-i586.rpm and
java-1.5.0-sun-compat-1.5.0.10-1jpp.i586.rpm worked, though, although it
took a while before I figured this out.
