I need to slap in Java 1.5 aka Java5 aka... well, whatever the marketing weenies are using today on our colocated box. Because it's... well... colocated, I naturally don't have an console there. So I decide to run the installer anyway...

root@boomer:~/storage# ./jdk-1_5_0_04-nb-4_1-linux.bin
InstallShield Wizard
Initializing InstallShield Wizard...
Preparing Java(tm) Virtual Machine...
The installer is unable to run in graphical mode. 
Try running the installer with the -console or -silent flag.

Okay, that's fair. So...

root@boomer:~/storage# ./jdk-1_5_0_04-nb-4_1-linux.bin -console
InstallShield Wizard
Initializing InstallShield Wizard...
Preparing Java(tm) Virtual Machine...
The wizard cannot continue because of the following error: 
Invalid command line option: console is not supported (1001) (403)

Just gonna be one of those days.
