I am fairly new to the Unix (esp. Linux) world.  I am trying to set up a small Linux server for my client in an effort to demonstrate its capabilities as a web server.  Unfortunately, I am having troubles installing the JDK.  It is probably an error between the chair and desk, but if anyone can help me out, please reply.  Here are the steps I took:
 
1. On my Windows Machine (I know, I know), I downloaded the glibc version of 1.1.6 from the blackdown web site
2. Then I FTPed the file over to the Linux box.
3. Finally, I ran "tar xzvf jdk1_1_6-v2-glibc_tar.gz"
 
It unpacks a bunch of header files (*.h) under the directory:  ./jdk1.1.6/include
Than it returns the message "tar:skipping to next file header"
 
That's it.
 
I would really appreciate any help.
 
Thanks,
Michael Bordelon
