Java install won't accept <Ok>? Desperate for help?

Rails
1

I’ve decided that I’m going to develop my Rails applications in Linux
and keep hitting a BRICK WALL every time I try to install NetBeans or
Java. I download all of the packages and come to a text screen that
says “Package Configuration” and then “Configuring sun-java5-bin” and
then it asks you to read the agreement and there’s an at the
bottom. I can’t get through this and everytime it fails my ‘package
manager’ goes bonkers and I have to reload the Ubuntu Gutys Gibbon
operating system AGAIN!!!
I push ENTER and type in “yes” and “Ok” and there is no response.
I’ve loaded this operating system FIVE TIMES NOW and the bottleneck is
very frustrating as I can’t program in a graphics environment without
Java.
I would be grateful for a reply at [email protected]
Thank you,
Kathleen

…and that’s your problem: don’t use a repackaged java, at all. Ever.

Download the Linux JDK installer from java.sun.com.

FWIW,
