    Java installation--please help

    Hello, Now I am trying to get java installed. I downloaded the jdk1.5 and got it unpacked to /usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06. All the commands are in the bin folder but I don't know how to get those commands to the classpath or whatever you have to do. I tried changing the .bashrc to
    Code:
    export PATH=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_06/bin
    but once I overwrote the old .bashrc with this one, all the commands like ls could not be found. When I added the export PATH command to the original .bashrc it still could not find the commands like ls. Any help would be great. Thanks so much.
