help with alternatives

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



I've installed java-1.6.0-openjdk (from EPEL) on a CentOS 5.2 x86_64  
system and see that it has not registered itself with alternatives.

First, is there a reason I should know about that it does not set  
itself up as an alternative?

But second, if I was to configure it myself, the syntax is

alternatives --install link name path priority    ... and other  
optional stuff


Looking at other examples, I'm not clear on the difference between  
link and path in this command

Thanks,
