Why did you move the jdk Direcory? It's easiest just to leave it in the default directory that the RPM install set which is usr\java\jdk1.3
Yes, you can uninstall the JDK. The easiest way is to use the RPM manager inside one of the X Windows GUI's. KDE, GNOME, etc. You can select the package, then click an uninstall button.
Once you got it installed to your liking, you must specify the path and CLASSPATH. In your root directory or home directory (depending on how you log in) there is a file called .bashrc (this of course is if you are in the bsh shell). There will be a path statement in that file. YOu need to add the JDK/BIN to that path. Then set the classpath to your working java directory (Wherever you will be compiling your code).
This needs to be in the LINUX Forum.
