Bill,

Thanks. These are 440s and 490s, so I guess I need both. Is that correct?

Also, before we install the 1.50 JRE, should we uninstall the 1.4.2_08
(I think) that's already on there? Using pkgrm?

Thanks again,
Jim

Hi,

I'm installing Solaris 9 on my Sun Blade to try to test these, and will
post back.

Thanks,

Hi,

When the two .sh files are run, all they do is unpack the JRE files into
a jre1.5.0_20 directory.

I thought that there was suppose to be a package instead, that would
distribute the files in the "right" places? Where can I get that
instead of the .sh files, so I don't have to setup the softlinks, etc.?

Thanks,
Jim
