follow the instructions carefully and everything should work. whenever it says "mozilla," substitute that with "firefox."

I dont mean to steal your thread, but I was following the instructions described above and I'm having some problems. I downloaded the rpm from java.com. Installed it in my /home.
$ chmod a+x j2re-1_4_2_05-linux-i586-rpm.bin
$ ./j2re-1_4_2_05-linux-i586-rpm.bin

# rpm -iv j2re-1_4_2_05-linux-i586.rpm
