Hmm, if I can get it working, my build should be faster (Athlon 1800+ here...) AFAIR, when I started /usr/ports/editors/openoffice it decided it needed Java, & asked me to download it manually. I don't recall whether or not I decided that download ever got here (dialup, 44,000 on a good day) and perhaps I wrongly assumed that when the FBSD Foundation said that Java wasn't working on 5.x, they were correct. Speaking of FBSDF, aren't you part of that? Maybe I read wrongly... Anyway, I didn't finish setting up the JDK/SDK as a result of that info. If I have time, I might go ahead and see. If I don't, I may just send softmaker a check. I guess I've got 28 days to decide, m/l.... Thanks for the heads up, anyway... KDK
