Getting Netscape and Java Runtime to work o Ubuntu PowerPc version.

[Bernardo Höhl]

Hi folks,


Thanks for helping me.

It seems that Daniel's tip is a good try.

I got the tgz files from IBM's servers.

But I am stuck in installing the "make-jpkg" tool.

It seems that my system "doesn't known" where to get it, and I have a  
connection error when getting a repository list from  "http:// 
br.archive.ubuntu.com".

I have already run "apt-get update" and get similar results from  
"synaptic" GUI tool.

I guess I could tell my system to get it somewhere else, but how?

Any further help will be very welcome.
