[nflug] JRE in FC6 amd64 won't work

The RPM directory in the prompt has the applicable RPMs.  My command was
[stay at rest rpm]# yum localinstall jre-1_5_0_09-linux-i586.rpm 
jre-1_5_0_09-linux-amd64.rpm

Didn't work in my case, I'm afraid:
Package jre-1_5_0_09-linux-amd64.rpm is not signed

I did try with an absolute path reference too, with the same results.

Thanks for the tip just the same.  I do have apt installed, so I *may* 
experiment with the corresponding DEBs.

Doh!
