I've downloaded the appropriate files (j2sdk-1_4_2-bin-scsl.zip and patch 
bsd-jdk14-patches-6.tar.gz).  Running make to compile and install don't 
produce any results so I assume I have to do something else.  Do I need 
to compile all of my browsers (Mozilla, Firefox, & Galeon) or is there a 
shortcut?

Thanks again for your time and patience.
