check out the presentation from OOW2003 (paper #40390)

"Dell | Oracle Rapid Deployment Techniques on Linux"

looks like a reasonable framework to me, they just need to have it on DVDs instead of CDs.

Hmmm, could you get a RedHat + Oracle 9i R2 install down onto a single DVD (compressed) with patchsets? I remember hearing at NYOUG that one of the goals of the 10G installation was to get it back down to a single CD. He probably meant a single DVD.

In the non-enterprise arena, the website of Werner Puschitz has an excellent article on Installing Oracle 9i on RedHat Linux, which even received a link from otn (nothing new here, but was perusing it today).
