Database creation using multiple mount points

I recently installed Oracle 8.1.7 on a machine running Red Hat 6.0. It was my first attempt at installing Oracle, and I was installing it on

a relatively small hard drive, so I decided to opt for the one mount point option that is described in most of the online step-by-step help.

I am preparing to repeat the installation, this time on a much larger (15GB) drive. I am thinking that it would probably be better to set up several mount points (u01, u02, u03, u04). I understand that one of the mounts will hold the software & the other 3 will be used for the database files. The last time I installed Oracle, I used dbassist only up to the point where I was given the option to save the shell script. Then I modified & ran the start-up scripts.

I am unsure of how Oracle will know which files to put under which mounts. Any help --- or any direction to documentation that addresses this --- would be greatly appreciated.
