So I truck meself off the the Sun site and dl jdk-1_5_0_10-linux.rpm.bin, the very latest, shinyest version there. But would you believe it was packed with rpm-4.0.4? And it gives the current 4.4.2, a segfault tummy ache. Repeatedly. So now I'm back to get the other package to see what falls out of the regular linux.bin file. Ok, that unpacked, now where can I find a .spec file so that I can pack it with the newer rpm & then install it? Or is that not the correct procedure now? -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
