[-- Attachment #1 --] I am trying to get JDK1.2.2 on my FreeBSD 3.4 box....(trying is the operative word here!) I get the following file and untarred it: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/java/jdk12-beta.tar The file was untarred pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/java/jdk12-beta/ .. pub/FreeBSD/branches/-current/ports/java/jdk12-beta/Makefile I cd into the directory to try to get to the makefile to do my build butI can not get past the '-current' Why is the path have a funky dash '-' in it? I tried escaping it, everything I could think of but could not get into the directory to do my build. Thanks on how to get past this problem.
