apt-get

Blackdown Java

Adopters with the Freek Box 3 can use the following method to install Java. Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list

deb ftp://ftp.tux.org/java/debian/ sarge non-free

Then use the following commands to install it.

apt-get update
apt-get install j2re1.4

Sun Java

These instructions are from http://wiki.linuxquestions.org/wiki/Java-Debian. I have not tested them yet.

Add the following lines to your sources.list

deb http://debian.ethz.ch/debian/ testing main contrib non-free
deb-src http://debian.ethz.ch/debian/ testing main contrib non-free 

Here follow instructions on installing jre for Debian sarge.

apt-get install java-package 

download the sun jdk from java.sun.com

make-jpkg jdk-1_5_0-linux-i586.bin 
dpkg -i sun-j2sdk1.5_1.5.0_i386.deb 
apt-get install sun-j2sdk1.5debian

self-extracting file

Adopters with the Freek Box 2 should use the following instructions.

The instructions at http://www.togaware.com/linux/survivor/Install_Sun.shtml worked to install Java.

download sun's self-extracting file j2sdk-1_4_2_05-linux-i586.bin (requires agreement to license)

move or copy it to /usr/local be root run the following command to install

./j2sdk-1_4_2_05-linux-i586.bin 

(this requires that you agree to the license again) and then the following command to make it findable by the system ln -s /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_05/bin/* /usr/local/bin (link the bin files into /usr/local/bin)

This does not put the plugin into mozilla, that must be done manually.

In mozilla, go to file://usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_05 open the README.html file go to System Requiremnts & Installation click on the installation instructions link click on the J2SDK for Linux link go to Java Plug-In Browser Registration Instructions Click on Manual Registration Instructions

Or click on the following link: http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/manual_install_linux.html

follow the instructions (requires creating a symbolic link from the correct file in the plugins directory into the mozilla plugins directory)

cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
ln /usr/local/j2sdk1.4.2_05/jre/plugin/i386/ns610/libjavaplugin_oji.so .
