Java Runtime Environment 1.4.2 Installation
If you need an elder version of Sun Java (bought by Oracle), you need to download it from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/archive-139210.html, unpack it yourself, and update your $PATH to point to it. Possibly also your $JAVA_HOME for some tooling.
The oficial Installation Notes for Linux
-
Make sure that execute permissions are set Run this command:
chmod +x j2re-1_4_2_-linux-i586.bin
-
Run the self-extracting binary.
Execute the downloaded file, prepended by the path to it. For example, if the file is in the current directory, prepend it with " ./" (necessary if " ." is not in the PATH environment variable):
./j2re-1_4_2_-linux-i586.bin
Note about System Preferences: By default, the installation script configures the system such that the backing store for system preferences is created inside the Java 2 Runtime Environment's installation directory. If the J2RE is installed on a network-mounted drive, it and the system preferences can be exported for sharing with Java runtime environments on other machines. As an alternative, root users can use the -localinstall option when running the installation script, as in this example:
j2re-1_4_2_-linux-i586.bin -localinstall This option causes the system preferences to be stored in the /etc directory from which they can be shared only by VMs running on the local machine. You must be root user for the -localinstall option to work.

J.C.T. over 1 year
I´ve got HP Proliant dl380 g3 and I can´t use few things from the "iLO(integrated lights-out)" because this tool needs the Java Runtime Environment 1.4.2 to run in my browser
HP does not support this Old server so I tried to install it by myself:
I downloaded the j2re-1_4_2_19-linux-i586.bin and executed it in the terminal and this is the result:
Do you agree to the above license terms? [yes or no] yes Unpacking... Checksumming... 0 0 Extracting... ./j2re-1_4_2_19-linux-i586.bin: 383: ./j2re-1_4_2_19-linux-i586.bin: ./install.sfx.5638: not found Done.
Any idea of what should I do?
Thanks for your Time!

J.C.T. over 8 yearsthe things is that when I go and try to use the tool I mentioned before, it keeps telling I should install JVM 1.4.2. I open the installation file to see what happened and even thou it say "Done", "./install.sfx.5638" it´s just the beginning. It just quit the installation and says "I don´t find this file.... done".
