here goes- I installed j2re1.. into /usr/local/j2re1.../ as root.
When I tried to run freenet I received a bunch of output. I found out kaffe was default java program ( please forgive me for my lack of knowledge on java- Sun, Blackdown, kaffe???)
I read this fine manual http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-java-faq/ch11.html
I followed this section( kind of )- 11.1.2 Making Java 2 work in Debian
# update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /usr/local/j2re1.4.2_04/bin/java 120
I didnt do this line below because I didnt see a javac in that directory-
update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /usr/local/j2re1.4.2_04/bin/javac 120


I then edited /etc/profile with export CLASSPATH and export PATH just substituting with info on my system.
When I started freenet I got the errors again.
Now when I type
java type
I get
java is hashed /usr/bin/java
type javac
javas is /usr/bin/javac
originally I didnt worry about the javac thinking it was for compiling stuff ( again you see I know nothing about java ).
Please help me to set things right.
I am running Debian-sid, 2.6.6 kernel
If someone could kindly lead me in the direction of a Fine Manual to fix this I would be most appreciative :-)
Thanks
