The compiler (javac) wouldn't run. The problem may have been a simple as revising the PATH variable, but I decided to wait until I had a more robust Linux than zipslack-- figured the file zipslack file system might cause Java some problems. So far, except for a couple of applets, I've just written apps that run in a DOS box-- I planned to work mostly with console mode programs under Linux-- web crawlers, math programs, text manipulation, etc. I hadn't seen anything about Java on this list, but hoped some other blinuxers were at least tinkering with Java.
