webmin

[Jonathan Smith]

I think I'm confusing you, sorry, I'm good at that sometimes.  I'm  
having two seperate problems:

webmin can't be installed through apt-get since it doesn't recognize  
YDL 2.3.  Solved by installing the tarball.

When I try to run FileManager in Webmin I get the following error  
message:
java.lang.ClassFormatError: FileManager (Bad magic number)

I was wondering if anybody else is seeing the java error - I'm going to  
forward all this to the webmin folks but I'm trying to see if anybody  
else is affected by this error or if it's just me. :)

Thanks yet again.
