Updating Java
« on: January 04, 2013, 10:23:59 AM »
Why isn't the latest version in the repos? Some game sites I go to need java, but they tell me my version is out of date. If I download the tarball, where do I extract the files to? Any help is appreciated!

Downloading and installing packages from outside the repos is strongly discouraged.

However, if you feel in a mood for adventure, you can save the .rpm in any folder you like and then, inside this folder, type in the terminal:

su (root password)
rpm -Uvh package_name.rpm
