question on a java install script

[David Dreezer]

Thank you both.  So, essentially you are both saying that this part is not necessary?

debconf-loadtemplate shared /target/etc/java/sun-java6.license;

That I don't need to be doing anything with the license file?

All indications in the logs are that it worked fine and that java and tomcat should be present, yet when I boot the client after FAI install there is no java or tomcat.  The license file is /etc/java as expected, but none of the packages have actually been installed.  Thinking that somehow I was installing on the nfsroot if possible, I tried adding $ROOTCMD before the apt-get with no success. That created errors complaining that that debconf couldn't find the license file. Can anyone see what I'm doing wrong?
