Step 1.

# rpm -q kaffe
kaffe-1.0.6-11mdk
# rpm -e kaffe-1.0.6-11mdk

2.http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download.html
Get the JRE not the SDK(Software Development Kit), unless you plan to do java coding.

You have 2 choices:
Linux GNUZIP Tar shell script
or
Linux Red Hat RPM shell script

choose which is best for you - the tar will work for all Linux distros, the rpm should work for mandrake but using the tar.gz is safer

You will be asked to accept their licence, then choose a mirror and download it.

Note the:
The download size of the file j2re-1_3_1_03-linux-i386.bin = 15,213,137 bytes.

After downloading do:
# ls -l | grep j2re
-rw-r--r-- 1 don don 15213137 Apr 11 23:42 j2re-1_3_1_03-linux-i386.bin
To check the file is the right size (obviously Sun dont know about md5sums )

now install it, for the install notes for linux check out:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/jre/install-linux.html

# mkdir /usr/local/java
# cd /usr/local/java
# mv ~don/j2re-1_3_1_03-linux-i386.bin .
# chmod 755 j2re-1_3_1_03-linux-i386.bin
# ./j2re-1_3_1_03-linux-i386.bin

# echo $PATH
/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
# ln -s /usr/java/jre1.3.1_03/bin/java /usr/local/bin/java

3. http://www.limewire.com/index.jsp/us...e/installation
Linux - Open a shell and cd (change directory) to the directory where you downloaded the installer. At the prompt type: sh ./LimeWireLinux.bin

$ chmod 755 LimeWireLinux.bin
$ ./LimeWireLinux.bin
