This is strange, it worked for me. But what do you mean by 'it says...'.

This shouldn't be necessary... Although it's nice to have java around (I
need it for my bank things), you can add
http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/languages/java/linux/debian/
to your /etc/apt/sources.list (see man apt) and 'apt-get j2re1.3' which
includes a plugin for netscape and mozilla (that works with konqueror).
You'll have to configure konq though (see settings >> configure konq >>
netscape plugins).

I think you really want to go to http://www.ibiblio.org/Linux/ there's a
huge amount of info there, not always up-to-date, but good enough. I
think there is also some 'guides' on really basic stuff. And of course
you'll have to know the following commands: 'man' is useful to find out
the syntax of commands and 'apropos' to find them in the first place
(see man apropos;). On debian systems you'll have to know about apt-get
and dpkg (but I think you met them already), and apt-cache to find
useful things you haven't installed yet.

You indeed don't want to install that...
