hi,

i followed this guide
http://help.ubuntu.com/starterguide/C/ch03s02.html, but it doesn't get
me java, because there is no /usr/bin/java in the package.

i seem to have some fake java installed:
# java -version
java version "1.4.2"
gij (GNU libgcj) version 4.0.2 20050808 (prerelease) (Ubuntu
4.0.1-4ubuntu9)

also, i can't move gij-4.0 out of the way without removing OOo and other
stuff. is java not supposed to run on breezy?
