Comment 51 for bug 85969

Was going to mention that sun had renamed their downloadable to: jdk-6u10-docs.zip. But I see several have mentioned this already. Renaming it to jdk-6-doc.zip as the installer expects seems to have no ill effect.

Honestly I don't think this is that big of a hassle (but then I've done it so often its become part of the routine). If this is how you work around the license issue, then kudos. It would be nice for the docs to be included with the license we're already accepting to use the JDK itself, but that's a Sun issue.

I'm not sure that the file need actually be owned by root, which is where some number of users are getting hung up in concept. But just for posterity, that's pretty crazy easy in a sudo system like ubuntu:

sudo chown root.root jdk-6-doc.zip

You'll be prompted for your password, and the deed is done. You'll have to use sudo for the subsequent move operation as well, though.
