You will have to post on a fedora mailing list, since I don't use
fedora, but ubuntu, and can help on this issue.

Alternatively, you can just try to download the appropriate .bin file,
execute it (after a chmod a+x <filename>) and just install it in your
home directory. You can easily adapt the kepler.sh script and point to
the correct "java" executable. I hardly ever use the system-wide
installed JRE, since I often need specific JREs, and hence install
these in my home directory.

Did you right-click a link and selected "save as" instead of
left-clicking it? There are a few pages that you have to click
through. The download should start automatically.

Cheers, Peter
