although I have not performed that migration I can help you perhaps.
The documentation of Oracle8i mentions a lot of migration paths from older releases to 8i. There especially is a migration assistant.
In my opinion it is the best to go via exp/imp, since this provides you with the cleanest target installation, is save, can be reversed ...
Client machines do not need to be reconfigured. I run a lot of client and server versions against each other without problems.
Regards!
