I created a debian package for the jdk myself and installed it:
Code:
fakeroot make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0_6-linux.i586.bin
dpkg -i sun-j2sdk1.5_1.5.0+update06_i386.deb
i hope it works
problem is, it takes too much disk space and now the image wont fit on a 700mb cd-r.
is there a way to remove the "old" java 1.4.2_06 ? can i just run "apt-get remove --purge java-common" ?

is there a list which packages are safe to remove?

thanks!
