1Login as root.

2Enter the following commands: shell> cd /usr/local

shell> cp /[CD]/j2re-1_4_1_02-linux-i586.bin /usr/local(where [CD] is the path to the HP Device Manager CD). shell> sh j2re-1_4_1_02-linux-i586.bin

shell> ln -s j2sdk1.4.1_02 j2sdk

3Set an environment variable JAVA_HOME to the pathname of the directory into which you install the JDK:
