Hello, I attempted to install the above package, and received a message prompting me to download package jdk-1_5_0_07-linux-i586.bin from Sun website and put it in /usr/ports/distfiles. However, I could not find that package, and noticed that Sun is offering a newer package (Update 9) named jdk-1_5_0_09-linux-i586.bin. But I could not install it because the port will not recognize the newer package name. Am I correct to think that this port should be updated? Taking the opportunity, I would like to suggest you to establish a port for Sun Jave Runtime Environment (jre-1_5_0_09-linux-i586.bin). I thought it would be interesting to offer a smaller package with only the runtime environment rather than the developer kit as I see that some people would never go into java programming but would still use the jre for navigation in the Internet. Thank you for your attention, Nuno _________________________________________________________________ Achetez ce que vous voulez, quand vous voulez sur Sympatico / MSN Magasiner http://magasiner.sympatico.msn.ca/content/shp/?ctId=101,ptnrid=176,ptnrdata=081805
