While this has nothing to do with your question, I recently installed 8i on Linux, and I ran into only one thing that caused me grief. My first attempt was using Caldera's 2.3 distribution. The Oracle8i install assumes that a utility named gmake is present. Caldera 2.3 does not include gmake. Red Hat does, so when all was said and done, I ended up using Red Hat's distro. It took me about half a day to install it on Caldera, discover that it wouldn't work, and then why it wouldn't work, and then correct the problem. Other than that one glitch, the install was "by the book".

I get them from my Oracle8i for Win NT cd. I believe you can download that from Oracle's Technet site (technet.oracle.com).
