Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to have java-linux even if I have to download and install bzip2 to use it. Still I think it's better to stick with more commonly available installation tools (and libraries and kernels for that matter). Is java-linux for kernel developers (100s of people) or the linux masses (millions)? I suppose Debian includes it, but RedHat 5.2 does not include bzip2, nor bzip2 capable tar. --Tucker Erm, yes it *is* on RedHat 5.2 Something like System/archiving with Glint. It's definitely on the CD. I've got it. I watched it install the other day. And a really good thing about bzip2? It compresses the JDK a *lot*. I bunzip2'ed it and then gzipped it so's I could keep it stored away and tar zxvf when I wanted to reinstall, but upon looking at the file size, I found that it had gone up by (oh, I can't remember now...) I think it was about 8-10Mb. A lot, anyway. -Jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
