I believe the correct solution is to edit /etc/java-vm to read something like this: /usr/local/jdk1.2.2/bin/java At least I have had no problems with the Blackdown JDK 1.2.2 on my potato machine. I haven't touched my `alternatives' settings. Regards, Pontus -- Pontus Lidman, [EMAIL PROTECTED], Software Engineer No matter how cynical you get, it's impossible to keep up.
