there is a Java 1.0.2 and 1.1 port for FreeBSD, I thought I had kept the URL for the 1.1 port but I did not. The URL for the FreeBSD 1.1 port has been posted to the mailing list as well as comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc. A quick search of the mailling lists from the FreeBSD web page and dejanews did not find either reference to the URL. Unfortunately, I can't give you copy of the tar file because the web site that I download the tar file from has a usage license (as I remember correctly it was basically the same as Sun's usage license). I would suggest that you re-ask on comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc for the URL or maybe you can be more successful in using the search engines than I was. I did not install the pdksh shell for either 1.0.2 nor 1.1. I manually rewrote the bin/.java_wrapper to remove the "whence" and "[[" calls. The only problem I had with the JDK 1.1 package is that it REQUIRES the libc.so.2.2 library to be in /usr/lib (which is a problem if you are running FreeBSD 2.2.2 and this library is in /usr/lib/compat, I had to make a copy into /usr/lib to prevent constant core dumps). --mark.
