Ruby upgrade

[Paul Thompson]

Hi Al,

Thanks for the info. I have the latest Sun Java SDK
j2sdk1.5_1.5.0+update06_i386.deb installed and that seems to be just
fine.

How do I process the debs once I have download them from the sources
that you gave me? I am a newby and so far have only handled debs
through the apt.sources list. This would be new to me. Can you please
explain further. Sorry to be such a nuisance.

Paul
