The easiest way to get Freenet running on FreeBSD is to enable Linux emulation and use the Linux binary Java distribution. You can do this even if you have a native FreeBSD-compiled Java installed. To enable Linux emulation, add this line to /etc/rc.conf : linux_enable="YES" Download Java this way: fetch "http://java.sun.com/webapps/download/AutoDL?BundleId=9718"; mv AutoDL\?BundleId\=9718 j2re1.4.2_05.bin chmod 755 j2re1.4.2_05.bin ./j2re1.4.2_05.bin The installer will do its thing, creating a j2re1.4.2_05 directory wherever it was executed. Move this directory around if you want to, I put mine at /usr/local/java/j2re1.4.2_05. If you have a native Java and do not want to overwrite any existing symlinks, open start-freenet.sh and replace all of the java calls so that they reflect the path where you installed the Linux Java, e.g. /usr/local/java/j2re1.4.2_05/bin/java. If you did not already have Java installed, you can symlink the Java binary from wherever you installed it into /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, or somewhere else that's in your $PATH. Plus, now you have Java... :) Good luck -s _______________________________________________ Support mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://news.gmane.org/gmane.network.freenet.support Unsubscribe at http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/support Or mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
