SuSEpenguin is flying high
Default this is how i did SuSE 7.2 & limewire

LimeWire and SuSE Linux HOW-TO
---------------------------------

1. make sure that Java2TM Runtime Environment, v 1.3.1 is installed.if not, go to:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/jre/
and download j2re-1_3_1-linux-i386-rpm.bin (size = 14,842,795 bytes)
A. unpack bin file with command: sh j2re-1_3_1-i386-rpm.bin
B. unpack rpm file with command: rpm -ivh jre-1.3.1.i386.rpm

2. Install Limewire
unzip/untar the downloaded file from limewire.com - whatever directory you are
currently in is where a new subdirectory LimeWire will be created.
A. locate your path to the java executable. my current path (as of 9/10/2001) is:
/usr/java/jre1.3.1_01/bin/java
B. cd to the new LimeWire dir. open runlime.sh with any text editor. the line that
reads: "java -classpath . RunLime" needs to be either commented out with a #
and a new line added or edited to read: "/your/path/to/java -classpath . RunLime"
##!NOTE!## don't literally type "/your/path/to/java..." but use the location you
found earlier in step 2.A
be sure to save the modifications.

3. Run Limewire
open a shell and at the prompt type: "sh runlime.sh"
it should fire up if everything else was successful
happy filesharing and please do share your files!
