+1 for pkg_mgr if you want a "package browser". >> during installation it says it can't verify signatures of installation >> files (I use 5.5 CD for i386) >> is that important? i plan to use online banking on OpenBSD, so >> security is very important Did you use separate disk partitions, or just make one big / partition?

It was broken for 5.5 release on i386, iirc this was to do with stack alignment, packages are available again for snapshots and will be in 5.6 though there is still an intermittent problem where javac fails from time to time. >> do I have to use Linux emulation? I suspect this is unlikely to be very successful for jdk. If you have 64-bit capable hardware then it might be better to reinstall with amd64 if you're going to be using this regularly..
