You should go to <http://z42.de/debian/>. Get j2se-package, convert your JRE to a deb, download the matching *debian-deb for your Java version, and install both the downloaded package and the converted JRE. The package management will take care of the symlinks in /etc/alternatives and even install symlinks to make the Java plugin work with Mozilla, Netscape and Firefox. You should probably deinstall the gjc packages first. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
