I have not used 8.0.5 on the 6.0 versions. We used 8.0.5 on RedHat 5.1 and 5.2. It is not recommended to run 8.0.5 on 5.1 because it is not authorized, and I can understand why! There is a kernel configuration incompatiblity, and occationally tables in Oracle will become corrupted. (Not a good thing.) The "fix" is to upgrade the kernel and make it a version other than 5.1!

8.0.5, at least for me, had a text creation utility, not a Windows version. In our database, we have our ORACLE_HOME at /usr2/oracle, ORACLE_OWNER is oracle, ORACLE_SID is fsc. In this version, we did not have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but you probably will with the 6.0 OS. (Due to the way our install worked out, the database files are built off of /usr2. It is relatively simple to see where the /usr2 comes from in these.)

As before, I don't know how this will come out

 mount /mnt/cdrom
 cd /mnt/cdrom/orainst
 ORACLE_OWNER=oracle;export ORACLE_OWNER
 ./oratab.sh
 Y
