You might be better trying here
http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp
Try the Linux RPM first, download the file to your Mandriva system and then from a shell prompt run rpm -ivh yourjavafile.rpm
Change the 'yourjavafile.rpm' to the name of the file you downloaded.
That should then install J2RE for you. You may need to go into your Firefox setup and tell it where the java runtime is. To find out the path of the java runtime type the following at a shell prompt
whereis java
By default, the path should be /usr/bin/java
None of them are working. I made them exacutable and opened it.
I agreed to the licence agreements then it said something like unpacking.
I typed "whereis java" it replies "java:"
Help, or any suggestions?
It said cannot ectract "error"
