Oracle does indeed supply it's own JRE on the installation media, and there is thus no need at all for Java to be especially installed by you beforehand. If you've got multiple Javas on the one machine, the JAVA_HOME environment needs to be set correctly.

I guess I'm a bit confused when you say you're "installing 9.2.0.4", since last time I looked one installed 9.2.0.1 and patched to 9.2.0.4. So I'm not clear whether you are installing base 9.2.0.1 and having trouble, or applying the patch and having trouble. Or, indeed, whether it's all changed since I last looked!

The installation of base 9i on RH9 is actually fairly easy, and is documented at www.dizwell.com. In particular, pay attention to the native threads issue.
