have downloaded:<br><br>jre-6u13-linux-i586.bin<br><br>from a website but I can't get it to run and install. I've tried sudo<br>jre-6u13-linux-i586.bin but it comes back immediately and says that it<br>isn't authorised. It doesn't ask for my password which is what I thought<br>
was supposed to happen with this sudo thingy.<br><br>I do wish Ubuntu would allow root passwords. Can anyone enlighten me?<br>I'm obviously doing something stupid.<br><br>MikeR<br><br>_______________________________________________<br>
