To further clarify: That message is being produced while installing a
linux JDK, which is needed to bootstrap the new native build. Yes,
it's really annoying. To save this annoyance, make a package of it
when you are done, merely for your own use, however.
the linux JDK can (and should) be 'pkg_deinstall'ed when you are done.=20
pkg_deinstall linux-sun-jdk1.4\*
