Installing Java on Openserver 6
Forgive the sheer volume of verbiage:
Sco Openserver 6 - how to install Java 1.42_14b:
The documentation says:
"Make a subdirectory and unwind the tar file into that subdirectory.
mkdir JAVA142
cd JAVA142; tar -xf ../OSR6_Java2_142.VOLS.tar
Run the Software Manager with the command:
scoadmin software
or
custom
or double-click on the Software Manager icon in the desktop.
Pull down the "Software" menu and select "Install New".
When prompted for the host from which to install, choose the local machine and then "Continue".
In the "Select Media" menu, pull down the "Media Device" menu. Select "Media Images", then choose "Continue".
When prompted for the "Image Directory", enter the directory where you unwound the tar file of the package to be installed and choose "OK".
When prompted to select the software to install, the single software package in the directory will by highlighted. You can deselect any of the optional packages that you do not wish to install at this time. Click on "Install".
I don't think Java is already installed. When I type in "java -version", it can't find anything. I did a find . -name java* and found a few files with "java" in them, but nothing suggesting a JRE.
When I run "scoadmin software", the selection process makes no sense. It shows "Java 2 Standard Edition" with an asterist to the left. If I hit enter, indented lines appear below that. It says, "Total 6, selected 1", or "Total 3, Selected 1". If you hit enter at the line, it either expands more lines or contracts to one lines. It makes no sense as to what is "selected", or even how to select it. I know I have to have a "URW" urwfonts installed along with this, but it isn't at all clear how to do that with this senseless installation selection process.
Finally, I just hit "continue" at the first single line that appears, and it then gives a screen that says, "Upgrading components warning - these components selected for installation will be upgraded". And it shows "Java 2 Standard Edition (J2SE). 1.4.2_08 (ver1.4.2 Hb) and also "URW ++ free X11fonts(version 2.0Ba)
Upgrading the above components will cause them to be removed and replaced with upgraded components. There is an option to " Leave replaced components on hard disk (loaded only)", but it is not clear how to check it. When I finally hit "CTRL Continue" and continue, it says "Error details - Assertion failed: path ! = NULL, file "dbaseStanza."
What is going on? This makes no sense. How can I find out if java is installed on this Unix Openserver 6 system? Why does it think it is, even though I can't do "java -version"?
I should note again I am logged in as root and that I'm trying to install 1.4.1.14b and urwfonts 2.0

softwareupdate
softwareupdate(8) BSD System Manager's Manual softwareupdate(8)
NAME
softwareupdate -- system software update tool
SYNOPSIS
softwareupdate command [args ...]
DESCRIPTION
Software Update checks for new and updated versions of your software based on information about your computer and current software.
Invoke softwareupdate by specifying a command followed by zero or more args.
softwareupdate requires admin authentication for all commands except --list. If you run softwareupdate as a normal admin user, you will be
prompted for a password where required. Alternatively, you can run softwareupdate as root and avoid all further authentication prompts.
The following commands are available:
-l | --list
List all available updates.
-i | --install
Each update specified by args is downloaded and installed. args can be one of the following:
-r | --recommended
All updates that are recommended for your system. These are prefixed with a * character in the --list output.
-a | --all All updates that are applicable to your system, including those non-recommended ones, which are prefixed with a -
character in the --list output. (Non-recommended updates are uncommon in any case.)
item ... One or more specified updates. The --list output shows the item names you can specify here, prefixed by the * or -
characters. See EXAMPLES.
-d | --download
Each update specified by args is downloaded but not installed. The values of args are the same as for the --install command.
Updates downloaded with --download can be subsequently installed with --install, or through the App Store (as long as they remain
applicable to your system). Updates are downloaded to /Library/Updates, but are not designed to be installed by double-clicking
the packages in that directory: always use --install or the App Store to actually perform the install.
--ignore identifier ...
Manages the per-machine list of ignored updates. The identifier is the first part of the item name (before the dash and version
number) that is shown by --list. See EXAMPLES.
--reset-ignored
Clears the per-machine list of ignored updates.
--schedule on | off
Manages the per-machine automatic (background) check preference.
-h | --help
Print command usage.
EXAMPLES
The following examples are shown as given to the shell:
softwareupdate --list
