Yes, I have both 1.4.2 and 1.5 on the 9.3 - packman IIRC. Amazingly, it
all seems to work in normal use. And yes, I think it is 32-bit.

I belong to the "don't upgrade a Suse system, do a clean install" school
of thought, so hopefully that's one problem I won't hit. It's one thing
I miss from using Debian, where I did trust the upgrade process, but
there were so many other things I didn't like :(

OTOH, I did select the "install the 32 bit stuff as well" option when I
installed 10.2 on my test system, so I'll have to see what Java packages
that has translated into.

Cheers, Dave
