Sure. Several possibilities: 1. Remove the link to the non-java version. Nobody should run freenet unless they have broadband anyway! 2. Make the non-java version download and run the java version if it is necessary, and remove the java version. 3. There is an officially sanctioned way to have it download the Sun JRE... oierw said something about "the JAVA Online Installer", from Sun's website. I reiterate my opposition to hosting the JVM as a file without any Freenet code in it, for well-known reasons - if we host it, google will link to it, and we will be competing with Sun, and that is against both their license and their words when they talked to you. However having it download the sun installer from their site seems reasonable enough. Either way, we need somebody to do the work on the wininstaller. > > Ian. -- Matthew J Toseland - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
