Here's what I did: Download selfextracting rpm-J2sdk1.4.1 for linux from the java.sun-Homepage.
(By the way, what's the meaning of "rpm"?)
I downloaded it to my home and I clicked on the .bin-icon.
Here's my question:
Do I have to use Emacs-Editor to write?
Do I need to save the java-files in my home too?
Where do I compile the files?
Very thankful for an answer, mfg,

How do I install Mandrake 9.0 next to Red Hat 8.0? What order must I use?
I don't hope I need to use something with the shell. Because I do not know anything at all about it.

how do I install the j2sdk1.4.1. on Linux.
Got Linux Red Hat 8.0; or where do I install it? Install: Download it to a directory, and write a Path?
Where?
Can someone send me an answer?
