I can install Sun's Java fine. I've just heard talk that IBM's is
better, so I figured I'd give it a try. I don't really use Java that
much, so not having the path thing working properly isn't that big a
deal; I asked mostly out of curiosity. Doesn't this seem like an odd
problem? Sun's Java has no problem with the path mind you, just IBM's.
