does anyone know a different way to update my Java other than going to that Java website. I tried that but the instructions confused me. Can someone give me some less confusing instructions? I have a 701SD Xandros

1. Go to http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp
2. Select Java SE Runtime Environment (JRE) 6 Update 14
3. Select your platform (Linux), language, and accept the agreement
4. Get the file: jre-6u14-linux-i586.bin
Installation (all of these steps need to be done as root; or use "sudo" in front of each command):
1. Copy or move the file to: /usr/lib
2. Open a terminal and type the following:
then
| Code: | | chmod 777 jre-6u14-linux-i586.bin |
then
| Code: | | ./jre-6u14-linux-i586.bin |
3. You will see a lot of messages, press the SPACE bar several times until ...
4. You get a question asking if you accept the terms of the license ..., answer: yes
5. More messages...
6. Done
To install the plug-in for your browser:
1. In the same terminal as above (as root, or use sudo), perform the following:
| Code: | | cd /opt/firefox/plugins |
Or (depending on which version of firefox)
| Code: | | cd /usr/lib/mozilla |
2. Type the following commands:
| Code: | | rm libjavaplugin_oji.so |
A message saying the file doesn't exist is O.K. Then
| Code: | | ln -s /usr/lib/jre1.6.0_14/plugin/i386/ns7/libjavaplugin_oji.so |
3. Done
Restart your browser.
Again, verify your Java version here: http://www.java.com/en/download/installed.jsp
