Yep. JDKs usually include a JRE.

Building a debian package allows apt-get to know you have a JRE/JDK installed, and thus allows you to install debian packages that depend on one. To use it (IIRC): make-jpkg <filename> where filename is your IBM*.ppc.tgz file. But you should be able to find more info about it in /usr/share/doc/java-package -- Alain Perry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
