The instructions I have found say I need j2sdk-1_4_2_09-linux-i586-rpm.bin
An earlier reply on this list said I would find what I needed at
jpackage. The only think I see listed for 1.4.2 on jpackage is
gcj-compat and Kaffe. Well at least they have 1.4.2 in their discriptions.
So I guess I have to figure out getting the stuff from sun after all...
