Doug, Yes I built mozilla from the ports, takes about 2 hours on my laptop, less on my server. The plugin does come with the native jdk for freebsd in the ports, I also built this and you need the linux-jdk port installed first then you can build from there. It takes some time for jdk to build, probably several hours, I usually go to work or class and it's done when I get home. If you build the native jdk first, then mozilla, the mozilla port will link in the plugin automatically. Check out the makefile in /usr/ports/www/mozilla. Gtk is required for both to build, and should be installed before compilation. I have had no problems whatsoever with moz 1.0 rc1, java works great, and it has never locked up since using this version. previous versions of mozilla were sometimes slow with dns lookups but this seems to be fixed in rc1. Hope this helps. Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
