How to use the script

1. Open up a terminal window and it should automatically open at your home directory.
   
   
2. You'll need to be root in order to install Java, so first type:
   
   su
   ...then enter the root password.
   
   
3. Next, to enable the script to run, type:
   
   chmod 740 mozsunjava.sh
   
4. Next, if you're using Mozilla, type:
   
   sh mozsunjava.sh
   If you're using Firefox, type:
   
   sh mozsunjava.sh firefox (note: lowercase 'f' in firefox)
   
   ...then press Enter to run the script.
   
   

1. You're informed that if you want to quit at any point, just hold down the 'CTRL' key on your keyboard and press 'C'.
   
   

   ... If the script detects that you already have a JRE installed, it will offer you the option of:
   
   1 : deleting the exisitng JRE and installing a new one
   2 : using the existing JRE
   3 : exiting the install
   
   Just type the number of the option you require, then press Enter.

   
   
2. The script searches for the Mozilla/Firefox directory.
   
   

   ... If you have more than one, they will be listed in order, just type the number of the directory you want to enable Java with, then press Enter.

   
   
3. The installation will then be initiated. First of all it requires that you accept Sun's license agreement.
   
   

   ...At this stage press the space bar to scroll down the page (you'll need to do this a few times), type "yes" when prompted and press Enter to continue.

   
   
4. Text should fly up the screen, revealing the JRE unpacking all necessary components. After this has finnished, all being well, you should see reports that the installation was ok, and that Mozilla/Firefox is now Java enabled.
