[ Javascript doesn't work with your proxy ] Ok, what do you propose?

That it did, and you wouldn't believe the amount of time and effort required just to get a binary version released for FreeBSD. Alas, the few minutes you had to spend disabling your proxy apparently is more work than you can handle. > and there's a few less flaming hoops... clearly I'm > whining. But someone has to. (-: It's simpy amazing that anyone would want to continue working for free on this project when they are folks like you out there. Thank goodness there are others who appreciate what it takes. Nate ps. For what it's worth, in order to download *ANY* JVM from Sun requires that Javascript be enabled, so the FreeBSD project isn't requiring anything more than Java's company.
