	No.  I haven't tried any non-Linux port for months.
	The linux-* ports are painful--fetching the jdk|sdk
	ports are doubly hard to find.  But evventually
	(almost) everything does work.

	Can you check your pkg list and list the mozilla
	and java ports?  --If thr linuxpluginwrapper will
	magically make FBSD mozilla work:: WOW!

	virtual website and put up things I've learned that
	may be of value to others... )
