Introduction

The purpose of this project is to create a Debian package of Java 1.5 so that it can be managed better than installing it manually.

Assumptions

• Debian is already installed

• Key Debian packages are already installed

Install FTP

After Debian is installed it’s a good idea to install an ftp server. The Kurobox must have internet access at this time in order to install.

• Switch to root

# su root

• Install proftpd

# apt-get install proftpd

• When asked if this should be in inetd mode or standalone mode, select inetd mode if there isn’t going to be a lot of ftp traffic.
• Verify you can log into the Kurobox via FTP.

Install Key Packages

This will install some of the basic things to assist in making life a little easier when dealing with Debian.
