Here are my easy install instructions for anyone having problems installing on mandrake 8.2

1. Remove any other java runtime environments off your system.

$ su
# rpm -q kaffe
# rpm -e kaffexxx.rpm

2. Download and install the sun jre following the instructions on suns site, make it executable, then run it.

# chmod 755 j2re-1_3_1_03-linux-i386.bin
# ./j2re-1_3_1_03-linux-i386.bin

3. download and run the linux limewire installer. The installer needs to know where the java executable is so it can run it to install limewire. It needs to be in your path (edit this in your ~.bashrc file) or you need to create a symlink to it:

# ln -s /usr/java/jre1.3.1_03/bin/java /bin/java
# which java
/bin/java
# exit

4. Install it as a user - you dont want root running it

$ ./LimeWireLinux.bin

5. convert all your mp3s to ogg and enjoy
