I don't have a HOWTO but here is what I did. This presumes you are using glibc libraries (required by Oracle) -- Redhat uses glibc.

Created dba group and oracle account (with group=dba) tar xvfz 805ship.gz
As root:
export ORACLE_OWNER=oracle
oratab.sh
mkdir /u01 /u02 /u03 /u04 /admin
chmod go+rwx /admin /u0*
As oracle:
./orainst { This runs the installer - follow the prompts } As root:
cd ~oracle/orainst
./root.sh

Add the follwoing to your oracle account .bashrc :

ORACLE_HOME=/oracle; export ORACLE_HOME PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/bin:$ORACLE_HOME/buildtools/bin:$PATH; export PATH ORACLE_SID=ORCL; export ORACLE_SID
TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/network/admin; export TNS_ADMIN ORA_NLS32=$ORACLE_HOME/ocommon/nls/admin/data; export ORA_NLS32 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/oracle/lib; export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

You may of course want to slightly alter some of the permisions that I used to suit your situation.
