I have java running on my machine.  I downloaded the non-rpm file:

jdk-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin    MD5SUM=42a98986e971c86192cc0075bb10afff 

mv jdk-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin /home/winston
chmod 700 jdk-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin
./jdk-1_5_0_04-linux-i586.bin

su
chown 0:0 jdk1.5.0_04/ -R
exit
export JAVA_HOME=/home/winston/jdk1.5.0_04/

works perfectly
