I need to change minecraft directory as root

Here's what I got out of running that, also it said 1st 2 commands were missing operand so I added * to them...

I gotta go to a meeting at 9...If you understand those Java errors...great. I'll be back on here around 12.

Looks like you have a missing jar file in your classpath.

I think that goes back to the .mincraft folder needed to be run as root or home in order to load all the jars. It works fine in windows but my Grandson runs a server with his minecraft and windows takes up too much memory on that old PC I let him use. That is why I put it on Linux/Gnome.

Just install it and run on normal user account. then you will not get permissions problem. If you do not want self-updating minecraft and replacing your moded version, use "--noupdate" argument after "minecraft.jar".
