For everything else, we assume. As to integration - it already is. Select "misc" in Linux' binary file format support option during kernel configuration, and you can run java files just like ELF executables. How much more integration do you want? The VM as part of the kernel? I may be 80ish, but that kind of bloat gives me physical pain. -- http://web.lemuria.org/pubkey.html pub 1024D/D88D35A6 2001-11-14 Tom Vogt Key fingerprint = 276B B7BB E4D8 FCCE DB8F F965 310B 811A D88D 35A6 -- You have received this message because you are subscribed to the selinux list.
