Linux J2SE 1.5.0 install w/o graphical interface

Here's a special situation from the geniuses at Sun.

1. Bundle NetBeans for the J2SE. Never mind that people may want a 'server' installation.

2. So, I try to run it with the installer with the -console option on Linux (Fedora Core 4):

$ ./jdk-1_5_0_04-nb-4_1-linux.bin -console

The wizard cannot continue because of the following error: Invalid command line option:

console is not supported (1001) (403)

Brilliant! So anyone have any ideas on how I can install J2SE 1.5 on a server that has no graphical installation?

I missed that another JDK download is available w/o netbeans.

I'm desperately trying to install JDK on Fedora Core 4.Did you get it all working in the end?

just follow the bloody installation instructions, it could hardly be easier (especially since there's an rpm installer for redhat knockoffs like fedora).

I'm sorry, i think your attitude problem has got the better of your judgement.

I followed Fedora's specific installation instructions, but ran into some of the various problems people have been experiencing with JDK on FC4. If you're unfamilier with typical JDK problems just do a google search...
