Here's what I've discovered so far:

    1. "setenv LAX_DEBUG 1" will show debug output for per_install.bin
    2. If you change per_install.bin shell script, you must make sure
       that the byte count of the file stays the same, otherwise it
       will not extract the zip file.
    3. "./per_install.bin LAX_VM /usr/local/jdk1.3.1/bin/java" will
       force the installer to use the specified VM when running the
       installer.
    4. the installer will attempt to write to "/lib", "/jre", will
       *still* fail even if it succeeds.

I've given up. I don't really need JBuilder that much either.
