We have oracle 8.1.6 installed on our SUN server .As part of the upgrade process to 8.1.7 (we decided to install into a new HOME)- I staged the 2 CD's into one of our free disks (not the existing oracle home) .Now to run the Installer - I took the following steps:

cd $ORACLE_HOME ( obviously the existing home 8.1.6) ./runInstaller

This brings up the installer - but when I get to the screen where I need to select the source and the destination for the new oracle home - It doesn't allow me to select the NEW staging area or the NEW Oracle Home destination - where I want the new software .I cannot even browse to the new source /destination locations ??

Any help to figure this out will be appreciated !!
