I am curious on how to use alternatives. Lets say, i have two installations of java and I want to use one for some program and the other for everything else. How do I get this to work? Do I have to su and switch the alternatives everytime I change, or can I just use this as some sort of argument? Thanks! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
