Jim, I have a 'problem' that I have too many tasks going at one
time. I cannot complete any of them soon, and I have to keep all of
them moving.
I have recently grabed FreeMind to start documenting all this. I am
building up quite a bit of information in there already...

https://jsecom16b.sun.com/ECom/EComActionServlet;jsessionid=3221109388A8563CC12A56FD8969DDEC

Then I add jpackage repro after the centos repro and do a yum update.

Did not get to it today. I will go for it tomorrow. Unless I get
Webmin installed on that box, and I can do this all via webmin. I
