Graphical Debian Installer Images. Frans Pop reported that the graphical installer is part of the regular daily built images for the i386 platform with AMD and PowerPC following soon. To use the new installer the boot argument "installgui" or "expertgui" has to be used. Frans Pop explained that the graphical installer could be the default in the release after etch.
Sun Java distributed by Debian. Jeroen van Wolffelaar announced the availability of Sun's Java package in the non-free section of Debian after Sun has reworked their license. Debian still remains committed to supporting free runtime and development environments for Java, such as Kaffe and GCJ. Red Hat, however, complained that this is not free enough and that Sun should free their virtual machine (JVM) at least.
