What does it mean? Does it mean the partition of /usr is full? or is
/usr/j2se full? How can I handle this problem? Do I have to remove
something from /usr? I dare not.

In the future, after you have cleaned this problem up, use df -ak to check for
available disk space and always have a clean backup before diving in with
fingers crossed for good luck. I have a post about this sort of thing coming
up shortly. In any case, I'd suggest that you create a new filesystem and
mount it at /usr/j2se such that you won't have this problem in the future.

And removing a directory like j2se is not as tedious as you said, just do
rm -r j2se, right?
I did pkgrm SUNWj2* before I tried installing jdk1.4.0. There is no way I
can expand the /usr partition?
And you suggest that I create a new filesystem and mount it at /usr/j2se,
what do you mean? You want me to do rm -r /usr and create /usr via mkdir
usr and then mkdir j2se? I dare not. There are tons of files under /usr.
Sounds like I ran into big trouble?

You have a SCSI controller whose number is zero, called c0. On that
controller you have a disk whose SCSI target or ID number is also zero. It
also has a logical unit number of zero. That means that you have a disk
called c0t0d0. That disk, like all disks, is round. Yep. It may be in a
square box but it is round. I'm messing with ya so just chill. That disk has
a pile of cylinders numbered from 0 through to a high number. I hope. Do a
prtvtoc /dev/rdsk/c0t0d0s0 and letme know what you have there. Looks like the
/export/home filesystem is just swimming in space. We need to reorganize your
disk.
Do you have a tape drive? Please say yes.
We need to move some things around in order to get you up and running.

Before we go in-depth though, I would suggest looking at /export/home and if
you have any free space. If the size if not needed, save the stuff or move
it to a new partition and you will be in a much better sharp later when
you need more space.
I would also suggest grabbing the Solaris docs from docs.sun.com to take a
look. You seem to need it...

I don't even know the size of my hard disk. I run df, du, or things like that, but got
confused by their outputs. :(
The sun site doc is a good resource, but it's too huge, hard to dig out what I want. If
you guys can recommend a good book, I would appreciate it.

Do a df -k and look where you have some space available (-k will show in
kilobytes). let's say you have plenty of space in /opt for example.
You may create your j2se under /opt with mkdir /opt/j2se
Then go in /usr and create a link to /opt/j2se like this:
cd /usr
ln -s /opt/j2se j2se
this will create a link under /usr so everytime you write on /usr/j2se the
files will be physically written under /opt/j2se.
Good Luck,
Federico
