ssssexy. what a difference from having to compile from source… 1.7G work area was required to complete… not anymore! not to mention the time it took to compile.

Note: had to delete .install4j in my ~ first. Pay attention to instructions during installation/execution

installation notes:

pkg_add -r xorg-libraries

pkg_add -r javavmwrapper

pkg_add diablo-jre-freebsd6-1.5.0.06.00.tbz

THAT’'S IT!
