I just went through our Java chapter, and when I went to build the native JDK 1.4, I forgot to mount linprocfs, which I thought I always needed to do before; but the native JDK seemed to build successfully anyway. Then I went one step further and tried it again by removing Linux compatibility from my FreeBSD box, and native JDK still built with any problems! It seems like all you have to do anymore is copy the bsd-java tarball and the three j2sdk tarballs to /usr/ports/distfiles and then run "portinstall jdk" -- is this correct, or am I spacing out about how we needed set up Linux Compatibility and linprocfs in the past? I just need some confirmation before I update our in-house documentation. Thanks a bunch, Duane
