Another option for step 3) is to include it in your /fai/package_config
directory, e.g. make a file JAVA in package_config containing the lines

PACKAGES install
sun-j2re1.5 sun-j2sdk1.5

or include the lines below in package_config/DEFAULT:

PACKAGES install JAVA
sun-j2re1.5 sun-j2sdk1.5

(got too many of those crammed in DEFAULT :)).

It's more visible in package_config for future debugging/upgrades/searching, and
that's what the package_config directory is there for...

Have fun,
Ludwig
