Exclamation [Asus EEE laptop] JDK 1.6 Installer : Segmentation Fault


Hey all,

Just bought an EEE yesterday and I love it, but there is a problem..

The first time I installed the java jdk 1.6 there was nothing wrong, but after a restore I am getting an segmentation fault in the installer:

Code:
Creating jdk1.6.0_06/jre/lib/rt.jar
./jdk-6u6-linux-i586.bin: line 495:  3847 Segmentation fault      $UNPACK_EXE $javahome/`dirname $i`/`basename $i .jar`.pack $javahome/$i
ERROR: Failed to unpack JAR file:

        jre/lib/rt.jar

Installation failed. Please refer to the Troubleshooting Section of
the Installation Instructions on the download page.
Help would be appreciated.

Running the standard Xandros and the standard java 5.0 that came with the EEE.

Greetz,

did you try jdk1.6 .. it has a better installer which doesn't install .. just untars to the specified target dir , so no error would be caused ...
