Ubuntu Live and Java

I’m not sure if this is specific to the Ubuntu Live based installs, or if this would apply to any Ubuntu installation. However, attempting to install sun-java6-jre (or sun-java5-jre) has left me with a continuous string of errors until I did this…

ln -s / /cow

It seems as though one of the installation scripts has this path hardcoded in it, and, without it, these scripts fail.

I hope this helps you if you should even encounter the same problem.
