i just Installed Suse linux 10.0 and i'm trying to install a "self extracting" java "RPM", it dosen't use YaST. I followed the insctructions on the Java site and it dosen't work. My question is, how do u install Java on linux so I can run Lime Wire?

BTW, I only had this for three days

Open terminal ->

$ su -
password: *****

and then go to directory where is that *.rpm package -->

# rpm -ivh package_name.rpm

For more info how rpm-program works type

# rpm --help
or
# man rpm

I might be reading it wrong...let me get it straight

open terminal

type SU, passphrase

then open the RPM package, jre-1_5_0_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin (opens in KWrite)

then were do I tpype rpm -ivh package_name.rpm

If I type it on the same window as I typed my password?

when i type things on the command line some times nothing happens.

http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/16592.html here how to add yast-sources.

ftp://ftp.man.poznan.pl/pub/linux/opensuse/opensuse/distribution/SL-10.0-OSS/inst-source-java add this as yast-source and then you can install java.

Another way is use apt: http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/

Hope this helps.
