I'll try -- someone correct me if I'm wrong.
You can get the latest release Blackdown release from
http://www.blackdown.org/
Pick a download mirror. The latest is JDK-1.4.2. Pick your architecture (Intel and Athlon XP are i386) and download the proper .bin file for your version of gcc (probably 3.2.) The "install file" should direct you the rest of the way, better than I can. Basically you have to make it executable (chmod +x "file".bin) and run it (./"file") via commandline and as root.
Good luck.
