I recently updated the packages of Blackdown and the Linux libraries.
The JRE and JDK run on my -current system, albeit not with native
threads, only green threads (the package is therefore configured
to use green threads by default).

On 1.6, run the following commands as root before installing:

# sysctl -w emul.linux.kern.osrelease=2.4.18
# ( echo; echo emul.linux.kern.osrelease=2.4.18 ) >> /etc/sysctl.conf
