Partial summary 2: installing/upgrading to j2sdk-1_4_2_08-nb-4_1-solsparc.bin

Hi,
 
Thanks for the tireless efforts of abt 6 membes on this list.
I have done "cd /; find . -name java -print"  & execute all
the java executable found in the system & definitely the
version given is not 1.4.2-08. So The problem is yet to be
resolved :
 
a)Eric has guided me thru to download the software (Sparc version)
   which finally came to the url below which has the same .bin file
   I faced problem with - it requires GUI to install & running the
   .bin file does not extract out another (exe) file
 
b)Bill Teeple gave me the url
   http://sunsolve.sun.com/pub-cgi/show.pl?target=patches/J2SE
   which I'm currently still downloading over my slow link
 
c)Michael Connolly suggested I download the version which has
   a  .sh extension & it's about 35.3MB in size - I think this is the
   version which could install without a GUI but alas, it's corrupted.
   It contains shell script lines in it as well as some odd characters
   (which I believe are binaries) & when I ran it (prefixed by "ksh -v"
   to troubleshoot where it fails), it's reported the archive is corrupt:
agreed=
while [ x$agreed = x ]; do
    echo
    echo "Do you agree to the above license terms? [yes or no] "
    read reply leftover
    case $reply in
        y* | Y*)
            agreed=1;;
        n* | N*)
    echo "If you don't agree to the license you can't install this software";
    exit 1;;
    esac
done
Do you agree to the above license terms? [yes or no] yes

echo "Unpacking..."
Unpacking...
tail +511 $0 > $outname
if [ -x /usr/bin/sum ] ; then
    echo "Checksumming..."
    sum=`/usr/bin/sum $outname`
    index=1
    for s in $sum
    do
        case $index in
        1)  sum1=$s;
            index=2;
            ;;
        2)  sum2=$s;
            index=3;
            ;;
        esac
    done
    if expr $sum1 != 58105 || expr $sum2 != 72302  ; then
        echo "The download file appears to be corrupted.  Please refer"
        echo "to the Troubleshooting section of the Installation"
        echo "Instructions on the download page for more information."
        echo "Please do not attempt to install this archive file."
        exit 1
    fi
else
    echo "Can't find /usr/bin/sum to do checksum.  Continuing anyway."
fi
