Re: [g-a-devel] success with gnopernicus 0.8.4 Gnome 2.6 in Debian

[Peter Korn <Peter Korn Sun COM>]

Hi Kenny,

Without a detailed list of the versions of all of the bits that you are 
running, it is difficult to attempt to diagnose anything.  I'm very pleased to 
hear you have a very stable system with Gnopernicus now - the internal stuff 
we're running in Sun is reasonably stable for us.

Java is NOT a requirement for Mozilla access; only for StarOffice and of 
course for Java applications.
