Installing Oracle 8.1.7 on Red Hat 8.0 was surprisingly easy:
1. Create orainstall and dba groups.
2. Create oracle user with orainstall as primary group, oracle as
secondary group, and oracle as third group.
3. Unpack linux81701.tar somewhere. (This creates a Disk1
subdirectory.)
4. Make sure whatever directory you will install Oracle in is owned by
user oracle, group orainstall.
5. Become the oracle user.
6. export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
7. Run the installer script under Disk1/runInstaller.
That's it. Note that this was for a basic client installation (sqlplus,
JDBC drivers, etc.), so I didn't worry about fancy kernel parameters,
shared memory, volumes, etc. If you're going to actually install and
run the database, this will probably be more of a hassle, especially
given the likely glibc issues.
