Thanks.  That seems to be working.  I did not *want* to upgrade the 
sun-java packages, as they were a non-standard install (needed to
get Open-Office 3.0 working).  Since it tried to retrieve sun-java from
the online repository (which, it can't - as the machine is not hooked up to
the internet) - it is a non-issue.
