The root.sh script makes a comparison between the 'ulimit' of the Oracle owner and a 'large number'. You may find that if you type 'ulimit' as the Oracle owner you will either get a number less than the 'large' one in the script or the word 'unlimited'. To get round the problem simply type

'ulimit < number bigger than the large one in the scrtipt> and rerun root.sh

Check out 'man ulimit' - theres more to it than just adjusting this number (max filesize)
