sudo chmod o+x jdk-1_5_0_14-linux-i586.bin
sudo ./jdk-1_5_0_14-linux-i586.bin
- environment variables for fedora --> added to /etc/profile

alias ll='ls --color=auto -alh'
alias vi='vim'
FEDORA_HOME=/var/opt/fedora
JAVA_HOME=/usr/java/jdk1.5.0_14
CLASSPATH=$JAVA_HOME/jre/lib
CATALINA_HOME=$FEDORA_HOME/tomcat
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStore=$FEDORA_HOME/server/truststore"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword=tomcat"
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Xmx64m"
export FEDORA_HOME JAVA_HOME CLASSPATH CATALINA_HOME JAVA_OPTS
PATH=$PATH:$FEDORA_HOME/server/bin:$FEDORA_HOME/client/bin:$FEDORA_HOME:$JAVA_HOME/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/usr/sbin
Note: I am using the option -Xmx64m for Java because I am using an OpenVZ virtual private server. Java 5 does not run very well within a virtual private server unless you constrain the amount of memory it can grab.

Install the Client on a separate machine, can install on MacOSX, Linux. Haven't tried w/ Windows. Should work
You need to have Java 1.5 installed to get the client tools to work

mkdir /var/opt/fedora
sudo java -jar fedora-3.01b-installer.jar
Choose a "client" install

You're Done!
Set path to Java 1.5 if not already an environment variable
