Download sdk-1_4_2-nb-3_5_1-bin-linux.bin ( Linux (.bin) ) from the sun java website. Then follow these instructions..

Hi,

Dispite having Mandrake 9.2 working on my laptop for several months now, I still haven't sused out how to install stuff. I noticed when surfing the net via Mozilla, that Java and Flash things aren't working, so I downloaded "j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin" from Java.com...

 

How do I install this...?

 

I have downloaded the plug-in to my tmp folder under my login under home.

cd to the directory where it is downloaded, and as root go:

 

chmod 777 j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin [enter]

 

That's in case it's permissions are set in such a way that it won't run. Then go:

 

./j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin

 

or

 

sh j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586-rpm.bin [enter]

 

After installation, follow the steps on how to link to Mozilla from above.

 

sdk-1_4_2-nb-3_5_1-bin-linux.bin will do the same thing and is much easier to install.

Cheers once more Dapper Dan.....

 

I unpacked by following your instructions, tried following the instruction from the link above but it just said 'file already exists' - so I tried double clicking on the unpacked rpm from the home graphic view... it installed itself...

 

Went to a web page that I knew had a JVM applet and whalaa...... IT WORKED...

 

That's the first thing I have ever got to work after the initial install.... chuffed or what.... now then, let's try getting flash to work...
