I'm having problems installing Tomcat on my Win98Se
machine. Below are the directions from Jakarta for installing
Tomcat. I've commented what I don't
understand.
Thanks,

How Do I Install the Binary Version of Tomcat?
Very simple. You should:
Download the zip/tar.gz/whatever file from http://jakarta.apache.org/downloads/binindex.html.
I’ve done this and everything went fine.
Unpack the file into some directory (say foo). This should create a new subdirectory named "jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1". If it's not where you want it, move this directory to the desired location.
///Did this and it went fine also./////
Change directory to "jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1" and set a new environment variable (TOMCAT_HOME) to point to the root directory of your Tomcat hierarchy.
////This I don’t understand. Are they talking about doing this in autoexec.bat or in the tomcat.bat file?////
On Win32 you should type:
"set TOMCAT_HOME=foo\jakarta-tomcat-3.2.1"
////Again, are they talking about within autoexec.bat or someplace else?////
Set the environment variable JAVA_HOME to point to the root directory of your JDK hierarchy...
////Where is the “environment variable” JAVA HOME located?
.... then add the Java interpreter to your PATH environment variable.
How does one do this?
