You see that little "f" there next to the ebuild?  It has a fetch 
restriction.  If you look a little ways up it will give you the URL to 
go to to accept the license and download it.  After you download the 
java thing, move it to /usr/portage/distfiles/ then emerge it.  I do 
this all the time and it is a PITA.  I wish some other java would work 
as good so I didn't have to put up with the manual crap.

Oh, as far as I know, this is the only program that has this 
restriction.  I haven't seen any other at least.  If you use 
http-replicator and run repcacheman, it won't even download it from the 
cache.  It's there but you have to get it manually.  Sucks huh?  Sun did 
it, not Gentoo.

To err is human, I'm most certainly human.

I have four rigs:

1:  Home built; Abit NF7 ver 2.0 w/ AMD 2500+ CPU, 1GB of ram and right now two 80GB hard drives.
2:  Home built; Iwill KK266-R w/ AMD 1GHz CPU, 256MBs of ram and a 4GB drive.
3:  Home built; Gigabyte GA-71XE4 w/ 800MHz CPU, 128MBs of ram and a 2.5GB drive.
4:  Compaq Proliant 6000 Server w/ Quad 200MHz CPUs, 128MBs of ram and a 4.3GB SCSI drive.

All run Gentoo Linux, all run folding. #1 is my desktop, 2, 3, and 4 are set up as servers.
