Oracle8 now installed on RH6 - what next?

Hi,

I've just installed Oracle8 on Red Hat 6 Linux, but am unsure what to do

now, there doesn't seem to be a great deal of documentation. How do I start a database up?
I've tried to run svrmgrl as a normal user, but it complains about some missing library or something.
So, I tried it as 'oracle' user, and typed "startup", but I got an error

(something about not having permission). How do I make sure a normal user can start svrmgrl and stratup a database (or perhaps only a user in 'dba' group can startup a DB?). How do I make sure a normal user will have the relevant environment variables set, if that's the problem?

Thanks in advance,
