After some fiddling I discovered that I had to remove the j2re that I had installed manually by using rpm -e. I also deleted the directory as well, just to be sure. And then I installed using the YUM command above, and it installed nice and easy. It even automatically connected with FireFox so that I didn't have to do any extra configurations within FireFox. I just fired up the browser and I had Java applets running. A small side note, just for possible future reference, is that the reason I didn't find the Java runtime environment on Dag in the first place is that I searched for it using "jre" instead of "j2re". D'oh! Thank you everyone for helping out, including those who offered suggestions on how to edit FireFox's configuration, which I'm lucky to have not needed, but it's great that everyone had such helpful advice.
