No. There are some command overlaps between the JRE and the JDK. But
in general the overlapped commands do the same things anyway.
The way I remembered it, Oracle 8i wants a copy of the JRE 1.1.6 put in
(or soft-linked in) /usr/local/jre. And that's where Oracle 8i find the
JRE. You do not change your $PATH, $CLASSPATH and $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, or
ld.so.conf. Therefore a normal user will never see this version of the
JRE (unless, of course, you already installed another versin of the JRE
in the exact same spot, in which case you have a conflict.)
