How to keep SuSEConfig from overwriting /usr/lib/java link?
I've installed jdk1.3.1 and created a new ln -s from /usr/lib/java to it, however each time I run SuSEConfig it reconfigures it to the old jdk1.1.8. Searching /etc for "jdk1.1.8" comes up empty, and I can't find any entry in yast for it. Can anyone tell me how to set this permanantly to the new jdk location (without doing ENABLE_SUSECONFIG="no")? I remember seeing a thread awhile back mentioning an entry in the SuSE 7.2 rc.config for this setting, but SuSE 7.1 doesn't have any such entry that I can find. Thanks, David A. Riggs

In rc.config set CREATE_JAVALINK="no" then set the link manually. -- James Oakley Engineering - SolutionInc Ltd. joakley@solutioninc.com http://www.solutioninc.com

No luck with the 'CREATE_JAVALINK' entry in rc.config, see below: Script started on Fri Sep 21 11:41:07 2001 mr-causey:~ # ls -l /usr/lib/java lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 8 Sep 21 11:37 /usr/lib/java -> jdk1.1.8 mr-causey:~ # rm /usr/lib/java mr-causey:~ # ln -s /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/ /usr/lib/java mr-causey:~ # ls -l /usr/lib/java lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 19 Sep 21 11:41 /usr/lib/java -> /usr/java/jdk1.3.1/ mr-causey:~ # cat /etc/rc.config | grep CREATE_JAVALINK CREATE_JAVALINK="no" mr-causey:~ # SuSEconfig Started the SuSE-Configuration Tool.

I don't want to start hacking up these scripts, I'd much prefer to do this from rc.config.
