What is the best way for installing Firefox and Sun JDK 32 bits alongside my 64 bits version?

Regards,

Hrrm, to have both versions of firefox could be tricky. I think you'd run into conflicts if you do both as an rpm--you might consider getting the 32 bit one from mozilla. (In which case, its a tarball, you untar it, and it creates a directory called, oddly enough, firefox. At that point you can run it with firefox/firefox. (Assuming you're in the directory where you've untarred it.

The Sun java shouldn't be an issue, IIRC, I've managed to have them both without problem.

But I don't need any dependencies to run the 32 bits version of Firefox and Java?
