Installing Oracle 8.0.5 on Red Hat 6.0

After having problems I went looking on dejanews for some answers, but the pickings are very slim. After an hour or so of
clicking around on Red Hat's site all I could find was:

>Oracle will work on Red Hat Linux 6.0, but
>you will need to use the "compat" packages
>in order to relink Oracle, if you need to
>do so. You will need to patch the Oracle
>Makefiles to use the correct linker from
>the "compat" packages in order to do so.
>In order to install Oracle on Red Hat Linux
>6.0, you will need to choose not to create
>a database at install time; wait until
>after you have relinked Oracle to create
>a database.

This is a wee bit vague and confusing for my tastes...

Has anyone out there successfully done
this? Does anyone know of a site with
more information or a detailed "HOW TO" style document?

Or, maybe am I better off waiting for a new version of Oracle that will work with RH 6.0? (8i maybe?)

TIA for any input
