Sun Java? How do I install it?

[Guest]

Sun Java? How do I install it in Linpus? Thanks for any help.

www.java.com, download the bin not the rpm, follow instructions besides the download, you should be done in a bout 5 minutes with firefox java configuration.

The link on Acer's site to the file doesn't appear to be valid any longer. Does anyone have the document or the contents of it?

Java is on the package manager already.So you can install it from there.
I am gonna do that tonight I wanna play chess in Yahoo games.
Good luck!

I found out how to install the JDK and posted it on macles blogspot however I'll quote my post from there.

Warning: I'm fairly new to Linux and to Java and this solution seems to work on my netbook running Linpus 1.0.6.E and not a lot has been changed from the factory settings so I guess it should work.

Also apologies for the bad (mini)solution but explained in quote.

...
In the terminal:

Copy all of the following 5 lines (as I don't know how do overflow in the command line)

wget -O jdk-6u7-linux-i586-rpm.bin [url]http://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/VerifyItem-Start/jdk-6u7-linux-i586-rpm.bin?BundledLineItemUUID=tHpIBe.mLDAAAAEfLfVX2APt&OrderID=n.VIBe.mk5sAAAEfEPVX2APt&ProductID=XzBIBe.oxM4AAAEaVJcGcbZW&FileName=/jdk-6u7-linux-i586-rpm.bin[/url]

Then after the rpm.bin has downloaded install using the following:

sudo bash jdk-6u7-linux-i586-rpm.bin

Press enter to scroll through all of the agreement and then at the end type "yes" to confirm. This will then install the JDK and when unpacked everything will work find (or so I've found so far)

Enjoy!
