The same goes when I install my system, and here's the problem. The licence agreement stuff on the patchset website won't let me download the patch with links, and neither with elinks nor Opera. I mean it is quite annoying to have to install the whole system (because mozilla represents a huge load of packages to install regarding dependencies) before installing the most important to my eyes: the JDK ;) I know you all have better things to do with your time and I admit I prefer to have you debugging/enhancing the JDK or spending time with your friends or family than coding webpages. Anyway, if you plan to improve your website in the near future, please think of all links users around the world. They too deserve the right to use Java on FreeBSD ;) Thanks for the new patch anyway. I will test it as soon as mozilla finishes to build. Regtards, Herve On Thu, 13 Feb 2003, Greg Lewis wrote: > Hi all, > > Patchset 8 for JDK 1.3.1 is up on the web site.
