thanks anyway but that does not help a bit when you are new and clueless on this op system,I have followed instructions on using yum on other installs would this also work for java

You should be able to copy and paste the instructions on the howto. All you have to do is open the terminal.

That is go to Applications -> System Tools and Terminal

Well if you have problems post back we are more than happy to step you through what things we can.

You will need to try and help yourself because if you have a problem we can't help you unless you try and tell us what is going on.
