I tried this when I was running a 4.1.1 Release system.

I got farther than you but still failed.  Here's what I did.

1) Copy the install CD to the harddrive.
	tar cvf - -C /cdrom . | tar xpf - -C /usr/cdrom

2) remove JRE from the CD copy and link to installed
	JDK1.1.8

	cd /usr/cdrom/stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8/1/\
	Datafiles/Expanded/
	rm -rf linux
	ln -s /usr/local/jre1.1.8/ linux

3) At this point I had to add a few other links for differences
	in the binary names.  You'll have to look through the
	linux rooted directory under /usr/cdrom and compare to
	files rooted under /usr/local/jre1.1.8/

4) Multiple files must brandelf'd to run properly.

5) At this point I was able to start the installer, but it failed
	to find some files after a few pages into the install.  I'm
	not very knowledgeable about Java so I couldn't take this
	any further.  I suspect the problems would become obvious
	if the java were running under a debugger.


Hope this helps.  If anyone figures how to go further please
send info as I'm interested in making this work eventually.
