I just installed LimeWire on a RH 8 box today.  Download the j2re-1_3_1_06 
bin file.  Once you run it you will have an rpm file called jre1.3.1_06.  
Install this rpm then edit your .bash_profile and add 
/usr/java/jre1.3.1_06/bin.  Exit and log back and do an echo $PATH to be 
sure you've got the jre in your path.  Now run the LimeWireLinux.bin file 
and it should go in.

My problem is that I get a series of warnings about it being unable to
create virtual key links.  However, the real problem is that I can't
change the options in Tools/Option menu.  The changes won't take. Trying
to do so twice in a row will lock the session.

It will work though.
