I should clarify this.  It has a fetch restriction on the Sun java
package.  You have to download it, then move it to distfiles to emerge
it.  It's a license thing I guess.  I do have nsplugin in my USE line also.

I do have this jre installed:

I'll give that one you mentioned a try in a little while.  I'm trying to
download a Gentoo 2006.1 CD over a 26K dial-up.  :-(  My pipe is about
full at the moment.

Thanks for the info.  I'll post back what blows up.  LOL
