I'm looking into how to update my ports now but in the meantime if the current version is 09 can anyone tell me how I can get hold of that ? As I said if I follow the link mentioned ( http://java.sun.com/ webapps/ download/ Display?BundleId=7479 ) in the error message I'm only offered the 08 version. Also sorry to be obtuse but I'm still not clear what the "Linux GNUZIP Tar shell script" is - is that another name for "j2sdk-1_3_1_08-linux-i586.bin" (and variants) ? thanks richard shea.
