To add a how-to to this page add a heading under the correct category OR create a category if one doesn't exist. There are currently no formatting or style rules. The suggestion is to be clean and well laid out. Look over the current how-to's to get a feel on how your tutorial should be laid out. Thank you for the contribution.

6. Check "I agree..."
7. Click CONTINUE
8. Click jre-6u7-linux-i586.bin link
