Hi Ken, If you have to have a .deb that was released with Debian, you can try the snapshot service at http://snapshot.debian.org/. For example, here is the link to the versions of sun-java5-jre stored by the service: http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/sun-java5-jre/ Or going back even further: http://snapshot.debian.org/binary/jdk1.1-runtime/ There are also versions of kaffe, etc. The rub is that you need to know the name of the package you want to install (and I don't recall the name of a 1.4.2 JDK). But unless your needs are very specific, probably the quickest path is to just get a copy of the 1.4.2 JDK from Sun/Oracle [1] and install it in your VM. (You can even do this temporarily by snapshotting your VM and then restoring it to its prior state when you're done.) Cheers, tony [1] http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html
