If you prefer the manual method, no more than

- determine the oracle_sid
- edit /var/opt/oracle/oratab to add that sid
- export ORACLE_SID=<yournewsid>
- edit a create database script (syntax to be found in the manual)
- startup svrmgrl
- connect internal
- startup nomount
- spool <anylogfilename>
- *Say your prayers*
- run the script
- spool catalog.log

• @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catalog.sql - spool catproc.log
• @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catproc.sql - spool catexp.log - @$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/admin/catexp.sql

All docs are available at http://technet.oracle.com This kind of info ought to be in the installation and users guide.
