The Oracle installer pulls a jre from 
Disk1/stage/Components/oracle.swd.jre/1.1.8.0.0/1/DataFiles/Expanded and puts 
it in /tmp/. Under the bin and lib, there's only a i686 directory.  
/proc/cpuinfo for an AMD K6-2 reports cpu family 5.  If I copy a jre 
executable to bin/i586 and library to lib/i586, the installer will start up 
and run through the installation.

The requirements in the release notes at 
http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle9i/pdf/9i_lin_relnotes.pdf
lists a Pentium II, 233 MHz as the minimum processor.
