John,

Rather than having WebSphere install to /opt folder, use the
following relocate command to change the default directory.

To change the default top directory, use the --relocate option of the
rpm command.

    # rpm -ivh --relocate /opt=<Top Directory> <Package File Name>

    E.g., # rpm -ivh --relocate /opt=/usr/local hpbuilder-4.0-1.i386.rpm
