Looks like you missed the first chapter... There's a document called Debian GNU/Linux Java FAQ at http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/debian-java-faq/ Section 11.1.2, Making Java 2 work in Debian, contains useful info about environment variables and /etc/alternatives. After going through all the .deb stuff, with no joy, I gave up and got the Java 5 SDK package from Sun. -- Glenn English ghe@slsware.com GPG ID: D0D7FF20
