Multiple JVMs aren't any problem, since none of them are in your PATH by default. rasputin@shikima mozilla]$ls /var/db/pkg|grep jdk jdk-1.1.8 jdk-1.3.1p5 jdk-doc-1.3.1 linux-jdk-1.3.1.01_1 rasputin@shikima mozilla]$which java /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/bin/java Also, I don't think you need to install the linux-jdk to use Mozilla (though I could be wrong) - I found that (linux) Mozilla didn't want to use my linux-jdk13 install, but happily downloaded a JRE the first time I went to a Java-enabled site. A moot point really, since you need the linux-jdk13 port to build the native 1.3 port anyway...... -- While money doesn't buy love, it puts you in a great bargaining position.
