Sun's Java is not part of Debian. You can get .debs for it from Blackdown, <http://www.blackdown.org/> Tomcat is part of Debian. > Better yet, can you send me a listing of what is inside the distribution > CD's or give me a URL where I could find that information. The .jigdo files contain a compressed list of packages for the respective CD/DVD image. You can look at it with "zless" under Unix, under Windows try giving it a .gz extension. > Can you tell me if the CD (DVD) distros have all the packages (8710 > packages or so)? The CDs/DVDs contain the complete set of packages, except for the stuff in the non-free section, which is not very interesting these days IMHO. The exact number of packages depends on the distribution (stable/testing/ unstable). Cheers, Richard -- __ _ |_) /| Richard Atterer | GnuPG key: | \/�| http://atterer.net | 0x888354F7 � '` �
