Install the JDK via the ports collection. There are several versions of the jdk available. It's a labor-intensive install, with some manual downloading from Sun's site, but if you follow the instructions, it works like a charm. I have jdk-1.3.1 installed from the ports. For information on working with the ports system, hit the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html it's probably available in several languages :) > i appreciate for your help a lot ... :) > > best regard, > > > Richman Sjarief > > Good luck - JB # John Bleichert # http://vonbek.dhs.org/latest.jpg To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
