I quote the instructions of the topic you suggested me:
On java site there isn't a java file with extention .bin to but only .rpm or tar.gz. I tried to follow the instructions but works only for .bin file I don't have. Any suggestion? I'm not very good with command lines. Thanks.

Then go to this page and download and save the Linux self extracting file it's 20.6 MB
http://java.com/en/download/linux_manua ... t=java.com
Then use geany to copy down these instructions so you can close firefox.
Now move the jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin you just downloaded into /usr/java
Open a terminal in /usr/java and run:
The name of the bin should change color from black to red in rox.Code: Select all
chmod a+x jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin
Now run:
Let it do it's thing.When it finishes it will say "done" in the terminal.Code: Select all
./jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin
Now run :
And then run:Code: Select all
cd /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins
That's it. Now open firefox and run about:plugins in the address bar and see if java is listed down at the bottom.Code: Select all
ln -s /usr/java/jre1.6.0_29/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so

shinobar posted Java 1.6.31-1 (.sfs) here.
ttuuxxx posted Java 1.6.26-1 (.pet) here.
I've never used runtt21's method, but I think the .bin might be inside the .tar.gz.
To access the files in a .tar.gz , just click on it and select which files to extract.
(and which directory to extract them to)
Also, you would normally copy shinobar's .sfs files to the drive Puppy is installed on, then reboot. Follow instructions in the window that opens, then reboot again.

I tried to run ,sfs and it was mounted but it didn't worked because Seamonkey didn't reconized it.
Then I installed ttuuxxx java pet and it works with Seamonkey
If you would like a menu entry for ttuuxxx's Java .pet, install this.
Then restart window manager.
It should appear under Menu / System / Java Control Center.
Edit: Just found problem with that Java .pet.
See fourth post here.

I just installed the latest java from java official release.
http://java.com/en/download/linux_manua ... t=java.com
as _MegadetH_ rightly points out.
"On java site There is not a java file with extention. Bin two men only. Rpm or tar.gz."
But that runtt21's instructions work just fine with very few changes.
where it says.
chmod a + x jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin
Don't do that. Skip this step.
Where it says.
./jre-6u29-linux-i586.bin
Do instead:
tar zxvf jre-7u11-linux-i586.tar.gz
(Customize "jre-7u11" so it match the version number of the file you downloaded.)
Where it says
ln-s / usr/java/jre1.6.0_29/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
Do instead:
ln-s / usr/java/jre1.7.0_11/lib/i386/libnpjp2.so
(Customize "jre-7u11" so it match the version number of the file you downloaded.)
Then you installed latest official jre and it also works in google chrome I just tested myself .
