Oracle for Linux Problems

Dear Sir :

  I installed Oracle 8.0.5 for Linux on my SlackWare 3.5 (kernel 2.0.34) but something troubles ... as the following :

1. no 'root.sh' file.
2. I have created 'dba' group and 'oracle' user and have set ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_TERM, PATH parameters for installing but when I start the 'orainst' then the error message shows : './orainst: ./orainst.cm : No such file or directory'

     I confirmed that I have changed to the /CDROM/orainst directory
     and I have checked the file 'orainst.cm' exist.....
     what's matter ??

  I have installed many oracle server on other system : Oracle for AIX, Oracle for HP-UX, Oracle for Sparc, Oracle for NT even installed the Oracle for SCO on my Slackware Linux 3.4/3.5 . No problem happened ....

  Is the downloaded file Error ? I downloaded the file '805ship.tgz' from ftp.oracle.com, the file size is 145043360 bytes , and I 'gzip -d 805ship.tgz' then 'tar xpvf 805ship.tar' , no errors happened.

  I don't know why ?? Anything I forgot ?? Can someone tell me ??

  Thanks a lots !!
