Yes, I think that "sh ... " need less typing and it also displays help message
if "-install" is missing.
On re-read "Folder Summary" section of install.htm#linux I can understand its
meaning, perhaps it will be clearer if the pronouns "jinstall juser home system"
use italic or a different font or color so that the relation of the first 3 box
and the rest is more visible.

Yes, your line beginning sh does the same thing. Are you suggesting it
is preferable? Doing the chmod allows you to do the simpler line without
parameters to see help and then again with parameters.

Subject: Re: [Jbeta] 602 ebeta available for linux32 and linux64
The installation guide said
...> chmod +x ~/temp/j602a_linux32.sh
...> ~/temp/j602a_linux32.sh -install
does this line do the same job?
sh ~/temp/j602a_linux32.sh -install
