The Java installer was a version 8 thing.

I was in the situation of needing a GUI (to point DISPLAY a to keep
Java's graphics happy whist the ASCII instaler ran) on a big HP servers
which only had an HP console to install - yuck.

Sorry Oracle 8.1 was well into bloatware territory, minimal install
footprint of 1.3GB and even then it didn't include stuff that the
startup scripts were written to expect.

Somewhere in there is a really good, fast, small database waiting to
come out - but I think Oracle lost the plot.

Never trust a program written in a language without strong type checking ;)
