how do I install jre-6u2-linux-i586.bin

Asked by jacek

I found the following instruction on Ubuntu's site to install Java jre-6u2-linux-i586.bin:

So I run the command: sudo apt-get install sun-java6-jre sun-java6-plugin sun-java6-fonts

Then I get a java Screen as per below and it just hangs. IS there a easy and faster way to do this?????

Package configuration

Installation of Sun Java 6 works very well with Synaptic, don't bother with the command line...
