I get the same result on my normal boot partition and the maintenance partition so if
it looking for something that is not there its not there on both partitions.

I know that the JAVA runtime and toolkit are two different downloads, they are
downloading as I type this message. I was under the impression that the SCOUG CD had
all of the JAVA 1.1.7 code so I could install it easily from the CD instead of
downloading 32 mb of data.

But the JAVA install on the CD only allows the "Toolkit Documentation" to be selected
for install. I can't install the runtime or the toolkit itself only the documentation.
I don't know if that is a problem with what is on the CD or if something is wrong with
my system. After this download finishes I should at least find out if I can install
JAVA 1.1.7.
