=> jre-7u10-linux-x64.tar.gz

3. Change the permissions & ownership of the file:
=> chmod 777 jre-7u10-linux-x64.tar.gz
=> chown novell:novell jre-7u10-linux-x64.tar.gz

4. Switch to novell user:
=> su novell

5. Extract the archived jre content:
=> tar -xvzf jre-7u10-linux-x64.gz

6. Rename the folder "jre1.7.0_10" to JRE:

7 Copy folder "jre_old/lib/fonts/fallback" to "jre/lib/fonts"
