You can wor= k just with diablo as it works very well and you'll have less time spent in= the process. you'll also need to place this files= under /usr/ports/disfiles tzupdater-1_3_29-2010f= .zip and you can find it here = [2]ht= tp://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp#timezone If not mistaking I remember another file needed but during the inst= allation the error will give you the link to download that file. = I hope this can help you better. __= ________ joag References 1. file://localhost/tmp/3D= 2. 3D"http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp#timezone"
