Yep. It downloads fine, checksum ok. Installation stops later nagging for 
registration and pressing Enter. This is not welcome because modules 
should be non interactive (except Lunar questions at the beginning).

You can handle such situation in 3 ways:
1. find a file package which does not ask questions (rarely possible)
2. if application has setup/install script look for any parameter which 
bypasses questions (--accept-license in dlj java package used before, -
noregister in package found by you).
3. if both above not possible patch setup/installer. This was the case I 
have done to acroread module for example.
 
Finally always lin from zlocal modules you are about to put into moonbase. 
This way you can catch most problems a module user may encounter and avoid 
grumble on dev ML.

I added -noregister for sun-jdk commit and cleaned up non working --
accept-license --unpack parameters.

Thanks for commit. Next time will be better. :)

have nice day,
