I'm not sure it's just a ZIP file -- I think it's a shell script with a binary executable installer appended to the end - at least it was with 1.3.0_02. Unusual, to say the least. The shell script asks you to agree to the license, then does tail +253 $0 > $outname (which chops off the initial shell script), then ./$outname
You can either: sh J2sdk-1_3_1_01-Linux-i386-rpm.bin (though I'm not sure that capitalisation is right), or do the tail manually - (it may not be 253, check your file) tail +253 J2sdk-1_3_1_01-Linux-i386-rpm.bin > myinstaller ./myinstaller Hope this works for you, Regards, Thomas.
