I want to install it system wide not just for one user
I downloaded the jdk-6u23-linux-x64.bin file ran it
I now have a ~/tmp/jdk1.6.0_23 with everything java in it
so where do I put what ?
and is there a slackbuild scrit for installing this ?

'jdk.SlackBuild' , etc.

ftp://ftp.slackware.org.uk/slackware.../source/jdk-6/

The file HOWTO-BUILD-TXZ tells how to use your version of jdk.

Just download all 12 files + the profile folder,
move it all to a "jdk" folder and run # sh jdk.SlackBuild
..

i think there is a ready-made jdk txz in /extra, as well.

@trademark91

As you can see, the above link says 'extra'
ftp.slackware.org.uk/slackware/slackware-13.1/extra/source/jdk-6/

But that's version 6u20.
