WHAO!!! WHOA!!!!!! much much MUCH more important problem... I just installed tux racer to make sure my vid card was working properly... The good news is that it works. But the sound is like 5 seconds behind the game? Is this because of kde messin with my sound, I've had probs like that before, the sound is even delayed on the kde sounds that it makes when minimizing windows etc.

hmm... firefox still doesnt work, java dont work, sounds slow (think I know why that is but not sure). And I cant find out how to add debian mirrors to yoper

The folks at Sun are using a deprecated syntax. To get the package to extract you must do the following beforehand:

export _POSIX2_VERSION=199209

ah ok, I get it, ok, I DID have java installed I just needed to tell the browser how to do it, been browsing forums, my bad, shoulda dont that first... Will continue to browse but still looking for help on adding debian mirrors/getting sound up

[kkubasik]

you don't really want teh debain mirrors as you lose the optimized packagez that Yoper has to offer.

you know, I think java comes installed with yopper. I downloaded/installed azureus and it worked w/o installing java first. I also recall reading somewhere that it is included. I wonder if anyone else can confirm this.

[HungSquirrel]

It is included at /usr/local/jdk . However to get Eclipse to work you will need the latest Java version.
