Neither is sufficient unless you are also following the Oracle installation guide. Here's a quick review of things you needed to do (based on RedHat 4 Upd2 AS):

/usr/sbin/groupadd oinstall
/usr/sbin/groupadd dba
/usr/sbin/useradd -m -g oinstall -G dba oracle

passwd oracle

mkdir -p /app/oracle
chown -R oracle:dba /app/oracle
chmod -R 775 /app/oracle

vi /etc/sysctl.conf ... set kernel params
  /sbin/sysctl -p
vi /etc/security/limits.conf ... modify limits
vi /etc/pam.d/login ... modify login
vi /etc/profile ... set ulimit and umask

vi /etc/hosts ... set IP addresses
vi /home/oracle/.bashrc (or) .bash_profile ... set environ vars login as oracle
./runInstaller
