Maybe you can try putting this in /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://www.mirror.ac.uk/sites/ftp.blackdown.org/java-linux/debian unstable main non-free Then run apt-get update && apt-get install j2re1.4 (or j2sdk1.4 if you need the sdk) Substitute unstable for stable in that line and j2re1.4 for j2re1.3, if you run stable. > > Thanks for the help, > Jason > > > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
