installing java on Linux

Hmm... Its working with the following bashrc file, without doing
anything to the bash_profile file:

        # .bashrc

        PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/java/j2re1.4.1_03/bin:/usr/java/j2sdk1.4.1_04
        ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
        USERNAME="root"
        export USERNAME ENV PATH

        # Source global definitions
        if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
            . /etc/bashrc
        fi

I tested it by installing Arachnophilia, although I still can't get
LimeWire installed. I appreciate everyone's help in this, now I don't
have to reboot into Windows to run my java programs. :-)
