I downloaded the Java 2 into 'home' - 'temp' folder, unlike MsWin, to
install the software, all you have to do is just a click. But this isn't
the case in linux. it does not respond, neither do I understand the
install explanation from the sun.com web site.

Can someone please help explain it in layman term for this new arrival
dump ass like me?

for instant : how to begin, where to place the software, what procedure
is the proper way...etc

Thanks in advance.

I, also a newbie, have a similar confusion. With Lycorix Linux:

a) I am able to copy files to /home/myusername... but I've run out of file
space. How does one change file space allotment in Linux?

b) Downloading .rpms doesn't necessarily install in the GUI KDE; have to
open a shell to perform an executable (case in point, Roaring Penguin's ADSL
dialer).

Very confusing, but I like the idea of not being tethered to Windoze... any
help would be appreciated.

OK fellas, i'm pretty new to this too, i had a bit of trouble as well,
but i got it in the end.

Do you mean the java sdk or the jre? because this is how i installed the
java sdk (from an rpm):

Password:

(Then you have to read the licence, and then it unpacks the rpm).

and that installs it.

hope this helps.
