What's the secret to installing Java in a fat client image?

[Todd O'Bryan]

Oh! That could be it. I generally start my chroot with:

$ sudo ltsp-chroot -m -p

so that everything gets mounted and the server's package repo gets
used. (Which means it's probably a good idea to install the version(s)
of Java you want on the server first. Unless there's a 32-/64-bit
issue.)
