This action must be executed as ROOT, none as oracle user. Try that. And also download the document called "User Friendly Installation ogf Oracle 8i" or something like that from www.oracle.com->support (the tag above the page) -> Oracle8i installation. This document explains most of the bugs in the installation of Oracle8i. And you also must copy the CD to hard disk (example: /tmp/cd_oracle), and change the owner of that directory to :

chown -R oracle:oinstall /tmp/cd_oracle

(as ROOT).

and run the file /tmp/cd_oracle/install/linux/runIns.sh instead of the runInstaller (it doesn't work)
