Apps :: JAVA install problems

I have tried to install it 3 times, always the same problem. However, I did an install using ext3 file system, and it worked first time (using the jre from sun). To prove my point I repeated my steps using ext2 filesystem and had the same problem that I started with.

It doesn't bother me what filesystem I used, I initially chose ext2 because it said better for slow computers. What is the difference?

It doesn't matter if you use ext3 or ext2 in DSL because it will be mounted as ext2 only - so your thoughts on the fs probably aren't in the right direction.

What kind of DSL installation did you use? The jre UCI version works out-of-the-box on a livecd for me. Perhaps it is conflicting with another jre installation.

Also, you shouldn't be root when you are using myDSL - I don't think it will even let you.
