Well, it's not just that, but that the private installation of firefox will still need to point to the global installation of java. I get around this by symlinking /opt/java to /opt/jdk_1.5.0_05 and then using "/opt/java" everywhere I need to point to the installation (that's not version specific). If I upgrade java, I can change the symlink and it's "upgraded" everywhere at once. -- Chris "`The enemy we fight has no respect for human life or human rights.
