First - 8.0.5 is obsolete. Acceptable is 8.1.7, mainstream is 9.2.0.? and current is 10.x After all your hard work to install, I almost hate to suggest it - but UPGRADE!

Next - go to http://www.dizwell.com and look at the Linux installation documentation. Don't necessarily try to do everything, just read it.

Then look at http://otn.oracle.com/obe/start for a tutorial (on 8.1.7)

Then do to http://docs.oracle.com and read the Concepts manual - thoroughly.
