if you want my advice: dump anything related to your distro. debian's latest packaging of java is 1.1.8. 1.1.8! holy jesus thats old. those apps probably dont work because they depend on swing (javax.swing), which doesnt exist in versions before 1.2.0... yes, that does make sense so get 1.4.x (or 1.3.1 if you wish) from http://java.sun.com and be java happy :) just follow their instructions, its not bad -- Daniel Brown UTACM President UTCS Undergraduate _______________________________________________ Siglinux mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.utacm.org/mailman/listinfo/siglinux
