I have downloaded the EE JDK 5.07 for Linux from Sun.
If I try and run java_ee_sdk-5_07-linux.bin as a normal user it works fine and I get the gui installer to appear.
However if I run it as root, I get this output and then if hangs indefinitely ultimately requiring a kill -9 to stop:

Any ideas??? Thx
