I've earlier not been to shure about this, but when I just now reviewed the docs once more, I feel confident that we're allowed to do so given two conditions: 1. We build our package from the unmodified binary-package served out from sun's web-site. 2. We stay away from the development-kit! The agreement we've got with Sun is on the matter of distributing JRE (sorry, no pre-installed javac or javadoc). Please take a look at the docs, especially numbers 4, 5 and 6: http://developer.skolelinux.no/info/cdbygging/sl-packages_appendix/ Unfortunately I'm not able to address this need for a new JRE-deb this week (having an exam this friday). If you're itching to make this new package for JRE, please feel free to to so. Gjermund Skogstad
