You are right, the actual space used is 60MB; I was looking at the
package sizes in rpm, where the j2re package is about 37MB. But
the package contains some packed jar files, which are unpacked by
the postinstall script. (The j2sdk package does the same thing,
so its actual size would probably be about 90MB).
