The problem I had with running DocSearcher on Debian also occurred on Win2k with j2re1.3; I upgraded to 1.4 and it worked fine, so it appears DocSearcher requires Java 1.4.
I haven't tried it again on Debian, but DocSearcher can index mapped network drives in Windows without any complaints; don't see why it couldn't do the same in Debian for mounted drives. I believe the index is stored on a local machine, though.

Re DocSearcher though, it is a shame that it doesn't seem to want to work as a browser applet. When I originally stuck it in our "to-package" list it was because I figured it would be nice to stick on a law office intranet, to search through all the OOo documents on the file server. Seems it will only search through local files though, which makes it a bit useless. Or maybe I'm wrong? -- JEREMY MALCOLM <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Personal: http://www.malcolm.id.au Providing online networks of Australian lawyers (http://www.ilaw.com.au) and Linux experts (http://www.linuxconsultants.com.au) for instant help!
