Hi,

goto http://download.oracle.com/otn/linux/ and download the 8051EE, it works perfect for me (at least on SuSE 6.2). You can install it with a console interface over rsh or telnet. By the way, if you look for installation instructions, try http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/, the guy has detailled installed instruction for almost all Oracle version on Red Hat.
I'm just trying to write some scripts to do an automatized install of Red Hat and Oracle 8.0.5. In case you're interested in some "experience exchange", mail me at s.jahnke_at_luw-ag.de.
