--ikeVEW9yuYc//A+q Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Hello all, I don't know what the story is, but Java is locking up my system badly. Even if I knew how to get details, I wouldn't be able to because the system is completely unresponsive. As a workaround, I have gone into /usr/ports/distfiles and renamed the jdk* files to names with DO-NOT-INSTALL in capital letters and linked the original filenames to /dev/null. I do not want java installing again on this system ever under any circumstances. With java, at least, I believe I have to download the files by hand if there is ever an update. But what if I identify other ports that are causing me problems? Also, in deinstalling jdk, I found that apache-ant relied upon it, but I couldn't see what depended on apache-ant. Is there a workaround for apache-ant?
