Since you have to deal with 4.8 you can't use Java JDK and JRE 5.0 Update 7 binaries from www.freebsdfoundation.org . 2.) So you have to built from source and this means bootstrap. 3.) Bootstrapping means Linux support on your FreeBSD- machine. Does your machine have Linux-Emulation enabled[1]? If the answer is no here, and you can't turn it on (which I believe since you have no access to /usr/ports), you can't install Java. 4.) Otherwise you probably should download [2] and build/ install everything needed in your home directory. Make sure you set the following make variables to suite your special situation: PORTSDIR (e.g. /usr/home/max/ports) DESTDIR (e.g. /usr/home/max/test). Since I never tried that, I can't say for sure, if it works. Good luck ;-) Kay [1] For instance output of `df` should contain a line like this: linprocfs 4.0K 4.0K 0B 100% /usr/compat/linux/proc [2] ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/ports-stable/ports.tar.gz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (MingW32) iQEVAwUBRUnJC/6xkxz4DngiAQhL6Qf+MhWgqjJa6TsmRpm+1tBL4eL8B7SfXIHO ZA1C9ayMrlNuHyFOACG4l2gTW8iny61WIPdG4GH768KgfdpHPB3mo0JpidHc/pEE mc36mn0c9XK5L/xtpeMsIvIlIQrLYksbDH/YV+/ILhB9ARffFlx1TME34L4jY2I/ g/l+mfAfFrLHOq3SSsNzvkDFPPx4ckuzidi1BHP5g89Vav9PmTrrWf91cu4EsuBy mjkConnYyoxtS5HIJ2VrRflyBQwIa/PYyRZVb4peruuKGfVeM/OEUiUZi6nlz38W /oMwa8dokC5JQHprrHe2kQVVHmEmw72Vsn6JsoIcoVh+5hl02/gEPQ== =Vh97 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
