No. That is what we do NOW. And what Sun said is ambiguous. We have two links, one to the file with the JVM bundled, one to the one without it. And I was told that the one without it will automatically fetch and run the one with it if there is no JVM. That is exactly what he is asking for above, and we already have it (or do we?). If you are going to assume that our users are epsilon minus semimorons, however, you could make the install process marginally easier to use by simply removing the link to the installer without the JVM. > > Ian. > > -- > Ian Clarke [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Coordinator, The Freenet Project http://freenetproject.org/ > Weblog http://slashdot.org/~sanity/journal -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
