There is a better way to create java packages than alien. Use the "java-package" http://packages.debian.org/stable/misc/java-package Just download the self-extracting file from Sun and use: make-jpkg j2re-1_4_2_08-linux-i586.bin -- Thomas Weinbrenner -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
