JRE install: accepting license
Hi,
I tried to install JRE via pacman.
After the download finished, I have to accept the license in order to install, yet I couldn't find how to accept it. Can somebody provide detailed instructions?
Thanks up front !
Michael Badt
Best regards,

They want you to read the license, and if memory serves me correctly, you'll have to scroll all the way through to the end.

I've always had to do a reboot after installing JRE before anything works... not sure why... try that.

Re: JRE install: accepting license
mibadt - you accept the license by saying "Yes, I accept that license" to yourself - that's all. 
You could rebel, and use the application without reading aand accepting the license - there would be no difference technically. As distributor, Arch is required to inform you about the licensing requirements, hence the install message.
drelyn86 - jre installs into /opt, and therefore requires an amendment to your $PATH. Rebooting is one way to do that, logging out and in again would also work.
