Hi Michael, I would guess, that binfmt_java is neither compiled in or as module, because it's considered obsolete. The entry in the FAQ you quoted is out-dated only applies, if you wont to execute some Java's class file directly by specifying it on the command line, like this: $ javac somefile.java $ chmod a+x somefile.class $ ./somefile.class . You don't need this module for compiling Java files nor running it using the Java interpreter, like this $ javac somefile.java $ java somefile , which is the normal method. This should work just fine on any kernel. BTW, if you want to be able to use the first method, you need the binfmt_misc module, which superseeds binfmt_java. See binfmt_misc.txt and java.txt in your linux/Documentation directory. BTW2, Java 1.1 is rather dated, you can get Java 1.3 from deb ftp://ftp.informatik.hu-berlin.de/pub/Java/Linux/debian \ woody non-free if you like. BTW3, you might want to read up on the Kernel-HOWTO available from http://www.linuxdoc.org/ , which should clear up your confusion about kernel modules and the kind. No offense intended.
