I have searched the forums - almost all - to find a way to install Sun's JRE for MozillaFirebird.... none of it is working..

File is j2re-1_4_2-03-linux-i586.bin that I have downloaded into MozillaFirebired directory...

These are the LATEST directions I am following:

3) Open a terminal or console
4) Enter "chmod 777 j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586.bin"
5) Enter "j2re-1_4_2_03-linux-i586.bin"
6) Press Spacebar several times and enter "yes" for the license agreement
7) Enter "su" & root password
8) Enter "mv j2re1.4.2_03 /usr/local"

Right off the top of the batNo such file or directoy...

Granted I am doing something wrong... but can you point me in the proper direction...

Thanks.... got my swap file to work AFTER hd install.. that was EASY... this is taxing my limited computer knowledge...

Thanks

8) Enter "mkdir /usr/local"
9) Enter "mv j2re1.4.2_03 /usr/local"

If I read it correctly, /usr/local does not exist in DSL (for space reasons). The 'no such file' error is probably that.
