    Having installed linux on my machine, I am currently setting up my preffered development environments. First I got my Sun Developer Essential CDs, and proceeded to install the latest jdk by using a self extracting (.bin) in my home dir (using user_level privs). The licence agreement showed up, and when upon agreeing to the terms the install terminates, with a incorrect file size error. I tried serveral things to get this working, and nothing. So then I reverted back to the CDs, and selected a slightly older jdk, and the same thing happened that. The windows versions from these CDs installed with no problems.

    So I then proceeded to go to java.sun.com and download the latest release manually. I did this befcause I thoguht there was something wrong with the ones of the disk (do you think? :rolleyes: ). Anyway after downloading that, the filesize read from the command line, corresponded to what Sun said it should be on their web site. I proceeded to install that one, and after the licence agreement the exact same thing happened and the install aborted.

    Right I'm a tad pissed off now, coz this is stupid, and it's annoying me :)

    Anybody seen this before

    I had the same problem a good few months back. I cannot remember what I did to resolve it but I may have used midnight Commander (mc) to view the file. I think it knew that there was a tar archive in it and I was able to copy the archive out of it. I think that is what I done but it may have been for something else. Its worth a try anyway.
