Java on Debian Etch
Monday, July 7th, 2008I got a bit confused when googling how to install java on Debian 4, but this business seems to work:
vim /etc/apt/sources.list
add non-free to the ftp.debian.org entry:
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free
deb-src http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ etch main non-free
Then
aptitude install sun-java5-jdk
I’ve always been a bit crap at Debian, it never quite works how I expect it to!
