scarecrow Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 (edited) It is rather easy to install what you've just got: Make sure the file is exectuable and under a root console run ./jre-1_5*.bin Anyway, you'd better (since you seem having no experience) use the one from here which is a "Mandriva tuned" non-GPL RPM.

pmpatrick Posted August 29, 2005 Report Share Posted August 29, 2005 IIRC you need to make the file executable as it doesn't come with that permission. So you should run as root: # chmod +x jre-1_5_0_04-linux-i586-rpm.bin # ./jre-1_5_0_04-linux-i586-rpm.bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
