docbook is already the newest version.
docbook-xsl is already the newest version.
xsltproc is already the newest version.
(So far so good)

I would rather not including "backports" in my sources.list file.
Instead I use "dpkg -i sun-j2sdk1.5_1.5.0+update04_i386.deb"
--> java -version
java version "1.5.0_04"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.5.0_04-b05)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.5.0_04-b05, mixed mode, sharing)

I am reading it, but I am little bit confused because he
explains more than one options/choices.

I tried "fop". My script is:
==============================
#!/bin/sh

CLASSPATH="/usr/share/java/fop/fop.jar:\
/usr/share/java/fop/batik.jar:\
/usr/share/java/fop/xalan-2.4.1.jar:\
/usr/share/java/fop/xercesImpl-2.2.1.jar:\
/usr/share/java/fop/JimiProClasses.jar:\
/usr/share/java/fop/avalon-framework-cvs-20020806.jar:\
/usr/share/java/fop/xml-apis.jar"
export CLASSPATH

xsltproc -o $1.fo  \
  --stringparam  paper.type  A4 \
  /usr/share/xml/docbook/stylesheet/nwalsh/fo/docbook.xsl   \
  $1.xml

# Convert a .fo file to pdf:
java org.apache.fop.apps.Fop  -fo  $1.fo  -pdf $1.pdf

exit 0
==============================

Some how the script freezes (because I am behind a firewall)?
