+ <h1>Note on Linux Fedora Core 3</h1>
+ <p>
+   Fedora poses 2 challenges to running Java programs. First, it does not come with
+   a version of Java that can run BibleDesktop. Second, because of a problem in Sun's
+   Java, the WebStart buttons above will not work. Follow the instructions below to
+   get BibleDesktop up and running under Fedora.

<h1>Getting Bible Desktop to work on Fedora Core 3.</h1>

<h2>I) The first thing is to get a version of Java that will run Bible Desktop.</h2>
<p>
  If you have not done so, follow these instructions:
  <ul>
    <li><a href="/jsword/linuxjava.html">Obtain and install Java</a></li>
  </ul>
</p>

<h2>II) At this point you have can get Bible Desktop and run it.</h2>
<p>
  At this point and time Java's WebStart does not work under Fedora Core 3.
  This is a reported bug in Sun's Java (see Sun's BugParade ID# 6188963)
  and will be fixed in some point release of Java 1.5. For this reason,
  Bible Desktop will need to be manually installed and run.
</p>
<ol>
  <li>Download JSword from the JSword <a href="/jsword/download.jsp">download</a> page.
      This contains both Bible Desktop and the JSword librarys that it is built on
      top of. Pick any of the *.tar.gz binary packages.</li>
  <li>Unpack the package into a directory of your choice.
      The jsword directory will be created for you.</li>
  <li>cd into that directory and execute jsword.sh.
      This is the Bible Desktop program.</li>
