Linux how to: Java Runtime Environment in Bayanihan Linux 4.0

Greetings! Just some pointers on how to install the java runtime environment on Bayanihan Linux 4.0

JRE is needed by your firefox browser to run applets.

First, download the JRE file from http://java.sun.com with the filename like goes like this "jre-6u3-linux-i586.bin" then open a terminal window and log-in as root by typing "su" and entering the root password. If you do not know the root password, read no more. Your effort will be futile.

Extract the file by first typing "chmod +x jre-6u3-linux-i586.bin" then type "./jre-6u3-linux-i586.bin"

At the end of the terms type "yes" and press enter.

Then go to "/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins" and type "ln -s /path to your .so file/." Remember to use the .so file in the "ns7" folder and not the "ns7-gcc29."

After that, you're good to go.
