Hi, although I agree that is possible best to use the one real way (see below), it's pretty easy to hackishly accept the licence:
with the blackdown-java1.3-packages I use a script which simply does: yes 'yes' | $ROOTCMD apt-get install j2sdk1.3 and with java1.4 from sun ( got it from http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html (self-extracting file (j2sdk-1_4_2_04-linux-i586.bin, 34.17 MB)) I simply do yes 'yes' | ./j2sdk-1_4_2_04-linux-i586.bin regards, Holger On Tue, 2004-08-10 at 09:47, W.
