No, just edit /etc/rc.config, look for the line with CREATE_JAVALINK="yes" and change it to CREATE_JAVALINK="no" After this you can change the symlink and SuSEconfig won't touch it. This is one of the idiosyncracies that's been fixed in 8.0. //Anders

No, in 8.0 CREATE_JAVALINK is in /etc/sysconfig/java, and it was in /etc/rc.config in 7.2 and 7.3. -- =========================================================== Glenn Holmer (gholmer@ameritech.net) ----------------------------------------------------------- Performing music well is a matter of distorting the score to produce the desired illusion, namely the existence of the score in a pure state. ----------------------------------------------------------- -Shadow, 1975 ===========================================================

Yes it is, but it won't mess with your link if you create it yourself. In the past you had to disable it if you wanted to do it yourself, in 8.0 it trusts your choice. //Anders
As a side note to this post, I recently downloaded and installed the latest Java j2re.1.4.0 the other day. I look in Xrpm and I notice that I have, what looks like, 3 java programs: j2re-1.4.0, java-1.1.8v3-25 and java2-1.3.1-275. Do I have 3 programs doing the same thing? I try to run "java -version" but I get nothing back. How can I be sure I'm running the current java on my machine? Do I make any sense?

jre is the Java Run-time Environment, only the pieces needed to run a
Java program. java is the full package. Kind of like libXYZ and
libXYZ-devel. You need just the former to use it, the latter to
compile a program to use it. Unless you are very short on space,
don't bother with the JRE.
