Alternatively, use --set-user-vm to select default system JVM What's a "freenet binary"? What command are you typing to run it? > Should the path to my Java Blackdown binary be set in my freenet.conf file? No, of course not. Freenet *reads* the config file. You can't put the path to the Java VM in a file that you can't read without running a program by using the Java VM! If you need the instructions to be more explicit, then let me change steps 2-4 as follows: 2. mkdir /usr/local/share/freenet and then download the freenet.jar and freenet-ext.jar files from www.freenetproject.org and put them in the /usr/local/share/freenet directory. 3. Get seed node references from somewhere. Create a user named "freenet" and put seednodes.ref into the /home/freenet directory. 4. In ~freenet/.bash_profile (or equivalent if you use a different shell), put this: CLASSPATH=/usr/local/share/freenet/freenet.jar:/usr/local/share/freenet/freenet-ext.jar export CLASSPATH Then login as user freenet for the rest of the instructions. Also make sure you are ACTUALLY FOLLOWING the directions. Don't try to run a "freenet binary". Read what I wrote for step 5. (Why, oh why, do people who've never used Unix before always try to use Gentoo? That is *NOT* a distro for newbies!) -- Greg Wooledge | "Truth belongs to everybody."
