Okay, that worked. Thanks very much.

But would it be so difficult for a packager to write an rpm that would 
invoke Sun's rpm, which presents the license agreement, and would then 
create the symlink in the appropriate directory? That would avoid any legal 
problems and get the job done in a way that could allow smooth upgrades 
without having to make it a research project.
