Sun/Oracle Java
Hi, Setting up a new machine, noticed that Sun/Oracle Java is no longer available to Debian. Saw a post here with an explanation: http://sylvestre.ledru.info/blog/2011/08/26/sun_java6_packages_removed_from_debian_u Unfortunately, there are limitations and issues with OpenJDK, and incompatibilities with various software. I'm not sure how it has worked in the past, but presumably someone manually built the installation package for Debian. Would it be possible to do this for oneself? I assume there is no source available to compile. Is it feasible to convert an rpm release for use with Debian? I've tried this sort of thing before, but with mixed results. Sorry if this has been covered already - I couldn't see mention of it in my email search.

Re: You can have any color you want - as long as it's Gnome?
Thanks for posting on this Jape. I'm new to Debian (preparing to install soon) and will likely be caught by this. Hope it's OK to ask some newby questions. I want a light weight DE, and was thinking to use XFCE (been fine on my other distros). I'm at best an intermediate level with Linux, so will likely struggle with not installing Gnome (really don't want Gnome or KDE). On 07/10/13 02:31, Jape Person wrote: From my perspective, it looks to me as though the problem is network-manager-gnome's desire to install gnome-control-center. Xfce and LXDE both want network-manager-gnome, so they also get gnome-control-center, gnome-session, and just about everything else gnome-like. Is it possible to not install network-manager-gnome when installing Debian with XFCE? I've bypassed the network manager in Ubuntu in the past, running on a desktop machine, and just configured network access by text file anyway. Not sure if that would make things awkward on a laptop connecting to different wireless sites. Are all these Gnome packages real dependencies for network-manager-gnome, or are they just selected by some other means? Is there an alternative network manager for XFCE, and can one be selected during initial installation? Thanks for any help.

Debian install including non free
Hi, I would like to include non free firmware/software/docs in my initial Debian installation. I have read some information online, though am still not sure of a few things. I will make a USB flash install drive, to be used on a number of machines, including some which will never see the internet. I expect there will be some non-free firmware required along the way. I also would like all non free documentation installed, as I don't know when I may need it, and may be in the field away from a network link. I would also like multimedia codecs etc installed. Probably other things too, which I am not aware of atm. copyleft.co.nz sell the 'Copyleft Plus' and 'Copyleft Non-Free' discs. http://www.copyleft.co.nz/products.html Can anyone comment on these? Are they a complete collection of relevant material for this purpose? There are also repositories of firmware/non-free material. Not sure if these include everything that may be relevant. I am assuming all this material is free, as in beer; is it possible to download an image of these collections, or download everything from the relevant repositories, and package it in such a way that it is available for Debian's installer to use?
