Sounds like a lot of work. This is what I did (besides installing
linux_base and linux_devtools)

1) Get JRE to work

   in /usr/local/jre/bin edit jre, rmiregister, checkVersion:
        #!/compat/linux/bin/sh
[OK, I lied. I said I only changed a single script :-]

   create /compat/linux/bin/arch to contain:
        #!/bin/sh
        uname -m

   rm /compat/linux/usr/bin/ldd

2) Get Oracle8i installer to work

   set DISPLAY

   set TMP

   link /compat/linux/etc/mtab to /etc/fstab

It took me a couple of hours, but I didn't spend any time getting an
actual database working. Oracle8i was fairly new at the time and I
wasn't going to waste any time tracing bugs that also existed on Linux.
My primary concern was the Linuxulator :-)
