Headless OpenSuSe 10.0 Eval Edition

Thread view:

Background:
I have installed OpenSuse (10.0) Eval Edition on a remote headless computer,
and disabled X (so it is completely GUIless) I then removed the keyboard,
the video card, the sound card, the CD rom, the floppy and now it is my sexy
headless system in the backroom, with only SSH port open on intranet.

Question:
Where do I find the complete idiots guide to installing Sun's JVM and
Compiler? I have failed at installing Sun's JVM when I had a GUI, and a
keyboard - so I doubt this is going to somehow be any easier. Right now my
knowledge is loading man pages, navigating directories, executing - and I
can do a few limited tricks, like compiling a c++ program, edit in vi
without any niftiness. For the most part - my knowledge of linux is NILL.

I guess you can download from Sun website the linux J2SE and then drop
it in your OpenSuse box. The file is something like j2se-xxxxxx.bin
Simply drop the file in /usr/local/, then execute the command (in su mode):
# cd /usr/local
# ./j2se-xxxxxxxx.bin
Then it will show you the License, type "yes" and then it will install
automatically to
/usr/local/j2se-xxxx
You can also create a shortcut too:
# cd /usr/local
ln -s j2se-xxxxxx java
This will create /usr/local/java, that you can use for your JAVA_HOME
environment setting. You can add in the /etc/profile in the PATH section
the link to /usr/local/java/bin, so simply typing java (or javac or
anything from the "JAVA_HOME/bin" folder will run from anywhere.
