I've tried a few sites to get some information, mainly google and microsoft, aswell as Sun. When I try to install what is given to me, I get error's or it fails, or I need an older version to install ontop of. What I'm asking for is this, can someone give me a step by step guild to installing Java VM, without any fuss. Please, people who know what they're talking about only reply.
Thank you.

So the informed people can only reply, but not make new posts? That seems like rather a strange request. I really don't see what's hard about getting a JVM installed though. It's just ./configure && make && make install from the gcc (http://gcc.gnu.org/) root directory (after unpacking the appropriate add-on (http://ftp://mirrors.rcn.net/pub/sourceware/gcc/releases/gcc-3.4.4/gcc-java-3.4.4.tar.bz2) to get gcj (http://gcc.gnu.org/java/)). Is there some particular failure you're trying to resolve?
Thank you, solved.
On debian/fedora/other rpm-based distros:
apt-get --install java
On slackware:
slapt-get --install java
(of course, you need to install slapt-get first)
Alternatively, you can download the .rpm from Sun's site, and install it like a normal rpm.
Or, on Slackware, use rpm2tgz, then installpkg on the .tgz.
