I have a desktop that started off running Woody, dist-upgraded to Sarge, then used apt pinning to run a combination of Sarge, Etch, and Sid. Finally I dist-upgraded to Sid about a year ago, and that desktop acts the same way as my recent Etch install on my laptop that was immediately dist-upgraded to Sid. I'm running the same version of Java you are on my desktop and 1.5.0.10 on my desktop. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
