Hi *,
while installing java on an external drive using knoppix I got symlink errors each time a symlink was tried out:
./jdk-1_5_0_05-linux-i586.bin > file 2>&1
after spacing out of the License Agreement and starting the installation I got a total of actually 4 symlink errors, each and every time the compilation tried linking a file or directory
I did search knoppix.net for: java AND symlink
and found only 3 links none of which described my type of problem
Why do these symlink errors happen? How do you fix them?
