Thanks reborg, a few questions then

1) where would i get the files i need and in what form would they take (ie will i have to compile source etc)

2) when I have installed the new version (alongside the old one but in a different directory) would I then be able to softlink the /usr/bin/java link which is currently pointing to .....(see below)

Code:

[root@server] # ls -l /usr/bin/java
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     other         16 Jan 31  2005 /usr/bin/java -> ../java/bin/java
[root@server] #

to the location of the new binary or would i just create a new link altogether leaving the current links and binaries completely as they were ???

cheers
Gary
