Thank you very much for the prompty reply. I'm sorry about cc'ing Greg. Since I am on a FreeBSD machine hosted (and managed) by pair.com, I don't have sudo, and I am not an expert on FreeBSD. A binary like diablo sounds like just the thing, I'll give it a try. The diablo links you provided sound good, wouldn't it be a good idea to mention them on pages like http://www.freebsd.org/java/ or http://www.freebsd.org/java/install.html? The only problem is that (http://www.freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml) seems to support only FreeBSD 5.5 and up. It looks like my system is running FreeBSD 4.8, do you think diablo-jdk-freebsd5.i386.1.5.0.07.01.tbz will be ok? Can you direct me to a URL for the older builds? pair.com> uname -v FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE #0: Fri Apr 15 13:34:52 EDT 2005 erik5@koloda.pair.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/PAIRqsv thanks!
