Hummm.... Step 1 of that link simply says....
Download the Sun Java Linux RPM from
java.sun.com and install it.
Just seems sensible that if you don't know what "install it" means and
can't figure it out for yourself that you'd look for help from the place
you downloaded. But, that's just me.... :-)
I figure most Java users on F8 have installed it on another version
or OS before. The web page was to point out the tricky bits like the
compat-libstdc++-33 and the now fixed XINERAMA bug.
