 Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2005 7:50 pm Post subject: Need help/advice installing J2EE on Linux laptop |
 |
|
A few months ago I got a used Dell Latitude XPi laptop, running Red Hat
Linux with GNOME. It has 39 megabytes of RAM, and 1476 megabytes of
hard disk with 322 megabytes currently free. It has J2SE 1.3.1-b24
already installed and working. There's no CD-ROM drive, and the
diskette drive doesn't work. Now I need to install J2EE on it without
disturbing the java already installed (in case something goes wrong
with installation I want to still be able to use the already-installed
java). Although the laptop has a working modem and probably has both
ethernet and PPP available on it, there's no ethernet access where I
live, and I don't have a PPP account, so my only way to download
anything is to first download it to my shell account on a dialup Unix
ISP, then uuencode it, then use minicom to download to the laptop over
a VT100 dialup connection, then uudecode it on the laptop before
starting actual installation.
First questions: Is 322 megabytes enough free disk to download and
uudecode and install J2EE? Can J2EE be installed as an add-on to the
existing J2SE, or do I need to rename the existing J2SE aside and
install J2EE from scratch? Is J2EE free for download?
If I have enough free disk space and J2EE is free, what's the best way
for me to proceed?

I'm currently investigating similar tasks - let's share knowledge. |
What's the best way to transfer between such a laptop/notebook
and a PC which both have DOS & linux ?
DOS's interlink works OK if you've go a null modem cable.
Have you used minicom between 2 boxes ?
So yes, in your case you'd download via ISP; 'expand' and install;
after finding out how much extra disk space you need.

Hope some one else provides these answers ? |
My notebook has only 4MB RAM and its installed WIN 3.1 hasn't
got installed/setup PAP for ppp. But I checked that my ISP can do
'login-ID & password' before 'switching to ppp'.
So I was hoping to be able to use 'shell facilities' just to download
my email, when the telco-line at my desktop is OOO.
How do you 'get to your mailbox' after you have logged in to
your shell account ? My ISP 'help desk' are just clowns, who
only can answer "windows questions".
Thanks for all feedback.

I have no idea.

No. When the modem in my laptop was still working, I tried to connect
the phone lines together and have my Mac originate and laptop answer,
and vice versa, but neither combination worked, so I have no way to
move files between my Mac and laptop.

If I want to look at my local shell mailbox, I use pine, but my disk
allocations limited, and most of it is already full of spam even though
I have kept my e-mailbox secret ever since I got it, so I dare not ever
let the world know or it'd get fifty times as much spam and I'd be over
my limit in no time at all.
Yahoo! Mail currently offers 1000 megabytes of e-mail space, so I use
that, with filter to divert all e-mail from regular penpals or
correspondents to a special folder where it's separate from the several
hundred spam I get per day. So far there's about 250 megabytes of spam,
so I figure I can go for another couple years before it's totally full
and I have to switch to a different Yahoo! Mail account.
