Hai it's me again; still newbie :-)

I have created a database when I succeeded Installed the Oracle8i on my Linux and thanx God I now can use the net8 to connect my database server from my web server. My questions are:
1. How to create new database?
2. Do I have to change the SID value, because the instructions I received from Oracle8i Linux Starter kit book I have to input the value ORACLE_SID=MySID into my .bash_profile?
3. If not, how the Oracle can see the different? 4. I have read that to create a database, first we have to create an instance; copy from init.ora to our own initSID.ora and than follow alot of instructions to create a database. But how I can use that initNEWSID.ora if I've already startup another *.ora; startup open pfile=$ORACLE_HOME/dbs/initOLDSID.ora?
5. IS there any document I can read for this damn things?
