Sorta. Mostly. I can't give more than that, unfortunately. Someone else may 
be able to...

I don't know about apt-get (actually, only x86 can apt-get from blackdown, at 
least, I wasn't able to do it for my powerpc), but I just downloaded the .bin 
files, and "un-bin'ed" them, according to the INSTALL-j2re file on the 
blackdown site. Not anywhere close to elegant. In fact, my working Java is 
still in my /home directory, since I've been too lazy to move it. Besides, I 
don't quite know where to move it, anyway! :-)

Hope this helps...
