Re: lenny on powerbook g4



Hi!

You can get the IBM Java JDK (which includes the runtime as well of
course) from
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/jdk/linux/download.html

Get the version for 32-bit iSeries/pSeries Machines and use make-jpkg
to create a .deb package from the .tgz. I don't have a link for that
handy but you can search the official ubuntu wiki for a description of
this process. The "make-jpkg" command is included in the "java-package"
Debian package, so you have to install that first.

One additional note: The current version of make-jpkg does not yet know
about Java 6 from IBM so you have to either change the filename of the
dwonloaded .tgz or the corresponding string in the make-jpkg scripts.

Andreas
