Nicholas,<br><br>I couldn't say which build you would need (as I havn't yet had the chance to install Gentoo/FreeBSD ;), but FYI, Java binaries can be found here:<br><br><a href="http://freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml">
http://freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml</a><br><br>Of course you couldn't just install them with pkg_add as you normally would on a FreeBSD, but I believe all of the necessary binaries, etc. install to /usr/local/diablo-
jdk1.5.0. So if you happen to have a spare machine to host a temporary FreeBSD install on, then a workaround could be to instal the package there and then just bring the directory over to the new system.<br><br>All, of course, assuming you can't use the Gentoo Linux build... Anyway, just a shot in the dark...
