basically, you download the java installer
move the installer to where you want it to install and run it
make a symlink to the java plugin in /root/.mozilla/plugins
(it's similar if you have Opera)
add the java/bin dir to your PATH
add export JAVA_HOME=path-to-java-dir to /etc/profile

my dotpup installer should do all this automatically
