From your burned CD Disk 1, execute runInstaller.
Do not cd to /mnt/cdrom!
as root: oracleserver:root# mount /mnt/cdrom
as oracle: oracleserverracle$ /mnt/cdrom/runInstaller

if you have any problems check if your x is working (try to execute 'xterm')

it would have been much much easier if you were installin from your own hd:
oracleserverracle$ /somepath/Disk1/runInstaller

thanks
can you tell me how to do it from the hard drive?

This is what I have done so far
I found where the runInstaller is finally
Now I am getting this error
The java Runtime Environment was not found at /bin/jre
Hence the Oracle Universal installer cannot be run

I have changed the /usr/oracle/.bashrc file and added this configuration

#oracle 9i
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/9.0.1
export ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle
export ORA_NLS33=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data
export ORACLE_TERM=xterm
export PATH=$PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/bin:/usr/local/java/bin
export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/config

# change this NLS settings to suit your taste
# or don't put anything and fall back to
# american NLS settings
export NLS_LANG='croatian_croatia.ee8iso8859p2'
export NLS_SORT=xcroatian
