[Owasp-webscarab] installing webscarab on Linux Fedora

[Nigel Sykes]

Hi Rogan

The locate command did the trick and I found the java binary file lurking in 
/usr/java/j2rel****/bin folder
I then ran the command and webscarab executed just fine. I had taken the 
easy option and used the search facility available via the menu. The search 
facility failed to find the file !

Many thanks

Nigel
