Understood and I usually do. (jdk isn't small! :)) The request was for both. This reminds me another request though. But I'll have to sit through the entire FAQ. When building a package from source, I want a way to prefer installing dependencies from prebuilt packages. What I did lately is see what it prints as the dependencies, control-c, manually install those binary packages, then come back and rerun the higher level source build. Or I just let it run a while and do build unnecessarily from source. Thanks, - Jay
