I'm going to work on the issues with FOP this weekend. To answer your question of "why upgrade" the JDK - If we can resolve the issues with FOP and OpenOffice, then using the JDK-1.5 (5.0) means that one doesn't have to install a different compiler (GCC-3.3.x) to build the JDK. To me, this is a compelling reason to try to move along with the JDK-1.5. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 09:54:00 up 13 days, 9:27, 3 users, load average: 0.00, 0.05, 0.06 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
