How to install java on Debain - jsn06 - 2005-09-12
go downlaod jre-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin from Sun ; just google jre-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin & you will get the result with the download center-downlod from javashoplm.sun.com.
scroll down & Required: You must accept the license agreement to download the product.
choose the .bin file
choose the Linux Platform -& choose the Linux self-extracting file jre-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin save it to your /home/* for the moment.
as root su -
cd /home
&
mv * where your bin is /opt
hit enter & cd /opt
chmod +x *-linux-i586.bin ( if you just type chmod +x (space) jre- with tab you will get the rest)
(try to use the tab instead of typing out every single letter).
Hit enter. Type:
./*.bin (or ./jre(tab) & it will give you the rest
Hit enter. Hold the enter key down until the yes/no line appears to allow you to agree to the license agreement. Type "yes" and hit enter. Wait for the installation to complete.
Type:
rm *.bin
Hit enter. Type "y" and hit enter.
As root su -
ln -s /opt/jre1.5.0_04/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so
Hit enter. Close the terminal. Reboot your machine and restart Firefox to enable the java plugin. You could go to [/url][url=http://www.dslreports.com/stest?loc=97]http://www.dslreports.com/stest?loc=97 and click the start button to test your java plugin installation.
hope it was clear enough,just use your imagination & try to show the path,take em by the hand & it should be installed.

mv /home/* where your bin is /opt
hit enter & cd /opt
How come you do mv /home/* /opt that will move every users directory
to /opt?
When a user goes to login they won't be allowed because you have moved there
directory.
