<para>The above site does not provide binary packages for
&os;&nbsp;8.<replaceable>X</replaceable>. It is however possible
to use the packages for &os;&nbsp;7.<replaceable>X</replaceable>
on an 8.<replaceable>X</replaceable> system. Simply install the
<filename role="package">misc/compat7x</filename> port before
installing the package.</para>
<para>Alternatively, <application>Diablo &jre;</application>
(as well as <application>Diablo &jdk;</application>) may be
installed using the Ports Collection (the relevant ports are
<filename role="package">java/diablo-jre16</filename> and
<filename role="package">java/diablo-jdk16</filename>).
Installing from the Ports Collection requires the source files
(distfiles) to be downloaded manually due to licensing issues.
Specific download instructions are provided when the
<command>make <maketarget>install</maketarget></command> command
is invoked.</para>
