Hi After attempting to install java-access-bridge, it has brought to my mind a question, I've not asked, until now. Should the path string be ammended or should additional paths be exported within the /etc/profile or a ~/.bash_profile? e.g. PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_11/bin" or export PATH=/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_11/bin:$PATH Are there different approaches used for the global system wide varibles to that used for individual users?
