| 16 | The Sun installer will present a license in a curses form. Depending on your terminal emulator, arrow keys may not work for navigation. If not, try !^f and !^b to navigate to the <ok>, and enter to select. Then you'll be asked to accept (or not) the license -- again use !^f or !^b to move to <yes> and hit enter. |
