That is what that OpenJDK package is, 32bit. I'm not finding 64bit 
anything within /usr/lib/jvm located packages ...just i386. Yes, I'm 
running a 64bit kernel. Oh crap... I just freshly installed and I've got 
a dollar that sez it installed 32bit, I have 2 DVDs and I think I 
installed the wrong one. Dang it.
