What if there is no internet connection?

If there is no internet connection, please install the documentation for the core Java API, as it will not be possible to view it online from the Javasoft website. You'll also have to use the bin/sedscript.ksh script to modify the paths in the links on all the HTML pages, to point to the local documentation directory. Let us know if you do not have an internet connection so that we can prepare accordingly.

We hope this makes sense!
