From my newby point of view that looks great, but what the OUI and Installation Documentation proposes is:

$ORACLE_BASE/product/10.1.0/db_1 <==ORACLE_HOME

Here's another interesting thing-- in the Installation docs, the "db_1" is NOT in italics (like "oracle_base" is). According to the typographic convention, that would seem to indicate that it is not a placeholder, but a literal value.

Still a little confused,
