I've been using Kubuntu 6.10 Edgy for several months now, and my only caveat is this: installing Java messes up my machine. I follow the instructions here, but when it gets to the license agreement it freezes. I'm assuming I'm supposed to select OK, but how can I do that? Everytime I try to hit enter, it doesn't work. Help!

Re: Why Doesn't Java Install?
Java is now available using apt-get or Adept package manager, you can ignore that page you linked to
You need to enable extra repositories
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories/Kubuntu
them reload and look for the package named sun-java5-bin
and then run this command to select the sun-java as the default java to use:
Code:sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-1.5.0-sun

I can't accept the license agreement, ergo I can't install it.

Re: Why Doesn't Java Install?
if you read the rest of the page (which of course I did not specify )
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Ja...e3d804fd879ce5
there are instructions for this, alternatively, you could use the command line to install it to get around this
