Out from the linux install guide from technet.oracle.com http://technet.oracle.com/docs/products/oracle8i/pdf/linux_installguide_817.pdf:

Set the kernel parameters for shared memory in /usr/src/linux/include/asm/shmparam.h and the semaphores in /usr/src/linux/include/linux/sem.h

In .profile you should set your oracle environment variables
