If you use /usr/local or /opt, then there is no risk of that,since official Debian packages are not allowed to touch those areas.
OK, that's the answer I needed. /usr/local/ it will be then. Thanx
The best thing would probably be to turn it into a proper Debian package.
Yep, was thinking of that. But that will take time and knowledge I currently don't have. I'm prepairing myself for bashing my head into debian's free java stuff, need to get that working with cloveretl... Once it runs, maybe I'll look into making a .deb.
gosh, their's so much still to learn ;-) Peter
