newbie help on installing java on etch /without/ x11 (crosspost from debian-java)
Hi list -
have recently started with debian etch (sort of know what I'm doing in
BSD, linux is a /slightly/ new adventure).
I want to install jdk (and tomcat) by the simplest means, but DON'T
want to install x11 stuff.
the standard etch package for jdk1.5 seems to require x11. Is there a
way to install this without installing x?
(there may be a generic apt/aptitutde answer, but it doesn't appear so
(there is a way to mark a BSD machine as not wanting x)
or do I have to go with the (pre-etch) two step install to do this?
any pointers (including pointers to generic apt no-x11 configuration
that I've missed - though I have search for it) very welcome
many thanks
Tim

a help list, but a dev list - apols to them)
