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 removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid Thank you, Kathleen ---

I download all of the packages … …and that’s your problem: don’t use a repackaged java, at all. Ever. Download the Linux JDK installer from [java.sun.com](http://java.sun.com). ## FWIW, Hassan S. ------------------------ removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid
