Although I was using the jdk1.1 for a long time before upgrading to
libc6 - the old jdk1.1 package allowed one to install it on a bo
system, which was most appreciated at the time.
I still have the 1.1.3.v2-1 .deb packages if someone wants them (these
can be installed on a libc5 system) - note however that there may be
bugs the maintainer has fixed in recent packages.
