Guest greeneggs Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Hi I have Mandrake Linux 9.1 but I am wanting to download and install the latest version of Java so that I can chat, view Java applets, play Java games, etc. I need to get this in an RPM format if at all possible. Anyone know where I should start looking?. Thank's!:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 You can get it RIGHT HERE buddy! On top of your browser, clic DOWNLOADS. Two folders will appears in the middle of the browser (Incomming and Pub). Clic the PUB one and clic COMMERCIAL-9.1. You will see j2re-1.3.1_06-1mdk.i586.rpm inthere. This is Java so download it and install it! urpmi j2re-1.3.1_06-1mdk.i586.rpm Good luck EDIT: I changed the 'rpm -ivh' command for 'urpmi' to prevents rpm to complains about dependencies..

scoopy Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Seeing our FTP is undergoing upgrades at this time and may not be accessable, you can go right to sun for their rpm. http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.1/download.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greeneggs Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Hey thank's! I don't see a link or icon at the top of my browser (Mozilla 1.3) that say's "download" or "downloads" and the one from Sun is in an RPM.BIN format which I've already tried and it's very confusing because they want you to extract a lot of files, read through a bunch of text files and alter command lines, etc. Sorry to sound so clueless but I am totally lost here people :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MottS Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Come on .. on top of that page, there is a link to the download section .. HERE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greeneggs Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Ok, I see what your talking about now MottS. I thought you were talking about a link or icon in the browser toolbar :D Now I go to that page your talking about and I get a message saying that the login is incorrect....hmmm.

MottS Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Have you ever access an ftp site before? You have to provide a username and a password. However, this site is anonymous. So anyone giving the following username and password can access it. Username = anonymous Pass = Whatever@whatever.com Try with Konqueror .. ! Good luck MOtS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnr Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 If you want, you can download the file from http://linux.aliboom.com/j2re-1.3.1_06-1mdk.i586.rpm (you might have to hold down Shift when you click on the link) In case they're still having problems with their server. It will be slower from my computer because I'm being hit pretty hard on my p2p right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greeneggs Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Sorry to be such a pain but no wondow appeared in which I could enter an FTP username and password Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnr Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 If you're referring to mine, you don't need a login and password, just hold down the shift key and click on the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest greeneggs Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Sorry, I meant Mott. I tired the link you gave me first but it lagged and after 8 minutes, it would'nt let me download Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qnr Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 OK, well, if you want to try it again, I've throttled the bandwidth available to the people downloading my files via Gtk-Gnutella, so you should have better luck. Up to you though. You might have to change the name in the save-as dialog box, since your browser might associate .rpm with Realplayer files.

MottS Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 Hey .. sorry greeneggs. I didn't want to be rude with you. But I still don't understand why you have problems to access an anonymous server.. :roll: Ok.. so if you are not able with the qnr server and the link on this site (mandrakeusers.org) then go with the .bin file as suggested by Scoopy. Once the file is downloaded, open up a console and type the following: chmod +x NameOfFile.rpm.bin ./NameOfFile.rpm.bin urpmi NameOfFile.rpm OR Download it from my server: HERE That should do the trick..

Guest greeneggs Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 That's ok MottS. I did'nt take it that way at all :wink: I finally downloaded it from that link, installed it and it works GREAT now! Thank's for all your help. It is sure appreicated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoopy Posted April 5, 2003 Report Share Posted April 5, 2003 FYI: Nobody was able to access MUB's FTP site for like the past week. See: http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=4120 or http://www.mandrakeusers.org/viewtopic.php?t=4121 but all seems well now and is working.
