I didn't burn the files to a cd-rom but just untarred the files, cd'd into
the directory and ran runInstaller.

However, doing
/Shares/Downloads/Linux/Oracle/8.1.7/linux81701/Disk1/runInstaller while
being in / also doesn't work.
/Shares/Downloads/Linux/Oracle/8.1.7/linux81701/Disk1/ is the directory
containing the untarred Disk1.

Besides, page 65 of the installation guide (linux_installguide_817.pdf)
says:

cd cdrom_mount_point
./runInstaller

Sorry, didn't know that people are so easily offensed by something as
unimportant as a .sig. It was a random .sig which doesn't mean much.

PS: I'm offended by your munged email adress. In a technical group, I'd
expect that people know that something like this doesn't help at all to
"fight spam". You should really fix your adress. Thanks.
