Although I was using the jdk1.1 for a long time before upgrading to libc6 - the old jdk1.1 package allowed one to install it on a bo system, which was most appreciated at the time. I still have the 1.1.3.v2-1 .deb packages if someone wants them (these can be installed on a libc5 system) - note however that there may be bugs the maintainer has fixed in recent packages. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
