Followups to freebsd-java. Just FYI (and I won't continue in this forum), but I've semi-successfully gotten IBM JDK 1.3.0 for Linux to run on FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE. I've had no luck at all with Sun's version, which is pretty much hard-wired to run on RedHat, period. It won't even run on Slackware. -- Chris BeHanna Software Engineer (at yourfit.com) behanna@zbzoom.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
