-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 First I would like to thank all of you who helped me out on my "Java-Hell" issue. I now have a working native jdk.1.4.2. It took a bit of doing, and many hours of compile time, but it finally worked. It did bomb once, about 4 hours into the compile, and demanded I do a kldload linprocfs, followed by a mount -t linprocfs linprocfs /compat/linux/proc, claiming it needed a proc fs to compile. I assume this was needed for the compile-time, and not for the run-time??? Anyway, java now works in all browsers. My next task here is to upgrade another workstation to freebsd. The woman I live with wants to dump her Linux, and have what I have as well :-) My question: I will be installing her machine mainly from pre-compiled packages, as it is not a dual-processor fast box like mine is. Java, and other packages are not available in pre-compiled form. Since I already compiled Java, is there a way to produce a binary-install on my machine, and install it on her machine? Simply tar up the dir perhaps? We have limited bandwidth (DSL) and so it would make sense to do a basic install for her over the net, and then do the rest of the install locally from stuff I compiled. Not everything, just BIG stuff like Java, KDE, Gnome the browsers....
