    j2re-1_4_2_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin

    i did

    chmod +x j2re-1_4_2_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin

    and then when i did

    ./j2re-1_4_2_06-linux-i586-rpm.bin


    all this info kept coming up and i hit more a bunch of times till it asked me if i agree to the terms (yes or no)

    typed yes

    and then this came up:

    Unpacking...
    tail: cannot open `+480' for reading: No such file or directory
    Checksumming...
