Greetings, The last time I did a install of Oracle 8.1.6 (or 8.1.7) some 6 months back, I NFS mount the FreeBSD system to a RH 6.1 system, and do the installation in RH onto the mounted disk. I think this was dicussed somewhere and I found it using Deja.COM (now googles). IIRC, it has something to do with the Java-based installer cannot be run on FreeBSD. Its doesn't matter which JDK you used (whether native FreeBSD port or the Linux one).
