Mark, You guys are awesome! You were right. Most of the executables in the /java/bin directory on the WAS installation CD have zero length! I've got 2 copies of the CD with the same problem. Boy, talk about effective compression ;o) !!

To help figure out what that is, you could try doing an "strace -f -F javacommand" to see if you can narrow it down.

Java is not yet installed on this machine. It gets installed with WAS. To issue the "java -version" I made a copy of the install.sh, which sets up CLASSPATH etc to point to the CD, and changed the java invocation therein. I don't get anything back, except for the "binfmt-0000 missing" message.

I think that is required. Can you check the java version (java -version) and get a response back?
