I was asked today to install Java on my Linux 7.2 2.4.9-17 system. The first thing I saw on the list was Jim Rich's post on the IBM Java 1.3.1. Following his links, I noted that I would need IBM's 2.4.9-38 OCO RPM's along with the kernel errata. What is 'kernel errata', everything at ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.2/en/os/s390/ , or just parts thereof?
Also, is there a Java for my kernel level which would preclude the need for an update, or is this just something I should get accustomed to doing (after all, I have found that the DFdss backup/restore works like a champion in case I screw this up!)? Thanks, Paul
