why dont you install the java packages from the site. They work fine.

IN mandrake linux, you can install packages thorugh sources (.tar.gz files) (which can be installed and compiled on any distro using make commands) or u can use rpms.

RPM's are basically redhat package manager files.Rpms can be installed on redhat linux and also on mandrake...also becoz mandrake is originally a derivative of redhat.

But Often,(But not always) you have different rpms, for RedHat, Mandrake, SuSe, Caldera, and others, with some differences.

For kpackage download and install this rpm:
===========================

Kpackage rpms for mandrake
---------------------------------
ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/mandrake.con ... k.i586.rpm

or

ftp://ftp.pbone.net/mirror/mandrake.con ... k.i586.rpm

(The above two have been tested on mandrake)

Kpackage rpms for redhat:
--------------------------------
ftp://ftp.grolier.fr/mirrors/ftp.redhat ... 8.i386.rpm

or

ftp://ftp.club-internet.fr/mirrors/ftp. ... 8.i386.rpm

For Java runtime environment
=======================
Goto java.sun.com and download JRE or JDk latest version in either rpm format or in source format and install it.
