This README is intended to clarify the naming conventions of the
java-linux archive. 


1) How is the site organized?

   The site is organized first by revision, and then by architecture. 
   For example, for each revision of the JDK, (JDK-1.1.5, JDK-1.1.6) there 
   will be an associated directory. Beneath these directories, there is a 
   a separate directory for each respective platform (mklinux, alpha, 
   sparclinux, i386). Beneath each platform specific directory, there will
   be a number of sub-revisions of the JDK (v1, v2, rc1, rc2, ...). Some
   of the platform directories may not exist if a port of that version has
   not been completed yet. 


2) What do these directory names mean?

   * mklinux/ppc  -   You run linux on a macintosh (powerpc).
   * alpha        -   You run linux on a DEC alpha based machine. 
   * sparclinux   -   You run linux on a sun microsystems machine. 
   * i386     -   You run linux on an intel based platform (486, 586, ppro).


3) Under i386, should I download glibc or libc5?

   The glibc stands for GNU C Library, and corresponds to newer
   systems such as RedHat 5.x and Debian 2.x, which are based on
   "libc6." Check with your Linux distribution's documentation to 
   be sure. 

   As of the JDK-1.2, libc5 is no longer officially support by the
   blackdown JDK. It is suggested you install an out of the box 
   solution, such as Redhat 6.1. Please visit the FAQ at 
   http://www.blackdown.org for more information.
