Go to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html and download the 1.4.1 RPM. It's wrapped in a binary (simply run it), and install the RPM. Then just create a symlink from the 'java' binary into /usr/bin and you're done. Run 'java -version' to make sure it'll all good. On Tuesday 12 November 2002 18:36, Scott Oakes wrote:

Download it from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html and extract into /usr/lib, then delete the "java" symlink in that directory and re-create it: cd /usr/lib ln -s j2sdk1.4.1 java Then make sure you set CREATE_JAVALINK="no" in /etc/sysconfig/java or else SuSEconfig will overwrite the link when it runs. -- ================================================== Glenn Holmer (Linux registered user #16682) -------------------------------------------------- "You may think this is the finest pearl But it's only cardboard balls, seamed in glue Overwhelming technique; done through diligence" -------------------------------------------------- -Captain Beefheart, "Best Batch Yet" ==================================================

No it won't. That was < 7.3. In 8.0 and 8.1 SuSEconfig trusts your choice and won't overwrite your symlink
