Not me. It is *highly* wedded to RedHat's layout, and to the output of RedHat commands. It won't even run under Slackware! Furthermore , there's a binary called "realpath" that will dump core if you get the wrapper script jimmied to DTRT. It is far, *FAR* easier to get IBM JDK/JRE 1.3 for Linux to work, and that version is faster, too. -- Chris BeHanna Software Engineer (at yourfit.com) behanna@zbzoom.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
