My point is that I don't find running make-jpkg on sun.bin and then installing it hard to do. But perhaps it can be easier. You might theoretically be able to make an installer package that downloads the sun binaries for you and shows you the license. The problems with that are however a matter for someone's legal department. In short this is not really a problem since it's comparatively easy to do and it's surely not debian's problem. It's sun's and they should be the ones to fix it. So in any case, the OP is barking up the wrong tree. greets, Wim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
