trap _jaw: ive already done that and still nothing.......nDiScReEt: i didnt really understand what you were trying to tell me but uhh the user thats gonna have limewire is a non-root user. but that user wouldnt be able to install limewire because binary files are off limits to him though for sum reason. so in a terminal window i do that su root thing and thats what id do to install limewire as root but first i need to get it to recognize that i have java so what exactly do i do??? I have no idear on what im missin. I need a detailed walkthrough i guess.

Thanks.
