How do I install the RPM available on SUN for Java SDK that looks like j2sdk-1_4_2_04-linux-i586_rpm.bin?
Updated -
This is actually not an RPM file - this is a self-extracting shell archive; this format is common for SUN distributed software.
To extract it, simply run
sh j2sdk-1_4_2_04-linux-i586_rpm.bin
and follow the prompts (instructions) you see on the screen.
