If I need a new module (one that I didn't know about when I did my initial Debian install), do I have to build a new kernel to get that module, or can I just install the module now somehow? Specifically, I want to be able to do java development. I did an apt-get of jdk1.1-native and jdk1.1-native-dev (from stable). The debian FAQ says: "Debian's default kernel is configured with Java support built in as a module...You need to make sure the module is loaded. You can do it at boot time by inserting the line binfmt_java in the file /etc/modules." I did that, but on reboot it couldn't find binfmt_java. I tried to apt-get binfmt_java, but it couldn't find it. I suspect that during installation I failed to specify that I wanted java support, so that binfmt_java isn't included in my kernel. If so, is there any way to add it now, or do I have to build a new kernel? (On installation, I opted for the "vanilla" kernel, 2.2r3").
Or, is it possible that java support is now compiled directly into the kernel (i.e., is no longer a module)? Mike Fontenot [EMAIL PROTECTED]
