Well I had installed it the last time when I built the native JDK.

I agree that 203MB is too much for a normal console app but I'd say
forget about using Java on machines with less than 256 or more likely
even 512MB memory (personally, I develop on a 1GB machine RAM these days
but that's W2K eating resources, too)


Best regards,
 Gabriel
