1 Nicholas,

3 I couldn't say which build you would need (as I havn't yet had the chance to
4 install Gentoo/FreeBSD ;), but FYI, Java binaries can be found here:

6 http://freebsdfoundation.org/downloads/java.shtml

8 Of course you couldn't just install them with pkg_add as you normally would
9 on a FreeBSD, but I believe all of the necessary binaries, etc. install to
10 /usr/local/diablo-jdk1.5.0. So if you happen to have a spare machine to host
11 a temporary FreeBSD install on, then a workaround could be to instal the
12 package there and then just bring the directory over to the new system.
13
14 All, of course, assuming you can't use the Gentoo Linux build... Anyway,
15 just a shot in the dark...
