Hello Kam,
sorry to say, but the document you are referencing deals with RH 6.0 and Oracle 8.1.5.
For Oracle 8.1.7 the resides below Disk1/runInstaller or Disk1/install/linux/runInstaller.
Note: my path is relative, check your CD mount point for full path.

Following URL's are helpful:
(read the Installation Guide first, will save you a lot of trouble. Create yourself a free account at otn if you don't already have one.) http://otn.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/content.html (some sort of "cookbook")
http://jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/817.html (search the archives at google)

Good luck
