in /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://ph.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ edgy-backports main restricted universe multiverse is that correct? after an sudo aptitude update, i did: sudo aptitude install sun-java5-jdk and I get: Couldn't find any package whose name or description matched "sun-java5-jdk" No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed. Which is why I asked which repositories (complete line for /etc/apt/sources.list please, if possible) I might need since I already had multiverse enabled and I'm getting the error above or, with apt-get: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/public_html/demo/web$ sudo apt-get install sun-java5-jdk Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Couldn't find package sun-java5-jdk Thanks for any pointers :-). It's not a big deal. I don't do a lot of java these days, but it'd be nice to have it available when I might need it. And it's always good to have it on there so I can practice. tiger -- Gerald Timothy Quimpo [EMAIL PROTECTED] Business Systems Development, KFC/Mr Donut/Ramcar If you hit two keys on the typewriter, the one you don't want hits the paper.
