A very good point. I have the live cd and will give it a try. Thanks rewster@rewster.org wrote:

Hi everyone,
I 'm contemplating installing the new Sun Looking Glass 3D desktop on Fedora Core 3.
Has anyone had any experience doing this?
The instructions located at https://lg3d-core.dev.java.net/lg3d-getting-started.html seem pretty straight forward but I was wondering if there were any gotcha's.
Likewise, does anyone know of a repository with RPM's for this to make my life easier?
Any information you might have on this would be welcome.
It's my understanding that LG3D, as it is right now, is more of a "proof-of-concept" than a full, working desktop, maybe that's changed since the last time I looked. With that in mind, there was news a while back of a liveCD that had LG3D installed on it, never got the change to DL it since it was slashdotted... the site if you're interested in that is: http://lg3d-livecd.dev.java.net/
It looks like their DL links are still down, maybe you could find someone who has the iso. Might be worth looking into before going through the trouble of building it...
