Oracle8i Rel.2 on Linux

Does anyone know how much takes for Database Configuration Assistant on Oracle8i EE Release 2 for Linux to create a typical starter databse? I have Red Hat 6.1 and I tried to install Oracle8i EE Release 2 . I choose Typical Installation and was promised that a pre configured starter database will be created for me. Unfortunately such a database was not created at all:(
So I satrted Database Configuration assistant. I choose to create a database ( I tried both options: Typical and custom) but the result was one and the same:(
It seemed to start Creating and Starting Oracle Instance, but I didn't know how much should I wait. I spent waiting and watching that process about 20 min., but unfortunately it remained on 1% and I couldn't wait anymore not knowing if anything is being installed or not. So I Cancel the Configuration assistant.

Anyone with a similar problem? Any help or comments will be highly appreciated.

Unfortunately Installing Oracle8i Release 1 was also full of problems and BTW I couldn't start Database Assitant in that Release at all!
