HELP! Unable to run root.sh

Question

I have just started to install the Oracle 8.0.5 for Linux and
have run into a little problem (I am using RedHat 5.1). I setup
the proper oracle user and group and set up the proper env
variables in the .profile of the oralce user I setup like so:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="$ORACLE_HOME/lib"
ORACLE_BASE="/u01/app/oracle"
TMP_DIR="/tmp"
ORACLE_TERM="vt100"
PATH="$PATH:/$ORACLE_HOME/bin"
ORACLE_SID="doug"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH ORACLE_BASE TMP_DIR ORACLE_TERM ORACLE_SID
PATH
I then went in as the Oracle user and in /cdrom/orainst I looked
for the file orainst like the instructions say but instead find:
00_TRANS.TBL crora.sh* install* root.sh
I am not sure where the orainst file is but I run install
instead, it asks me a few questions (mentions that it will
require only 300MB of disk space - this seems small) - what is
the ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID and then says "extracting from the
CD". Then it says:
Do you want to create a database now? [n]
y
Saving listener.ora -> listener.ora.sav
Saving tnsnames.ora -> tnsnames.ora.sav
Creating listener.ora ...
Creating tnsnames.ora ...
Creating database ...
Environment settings are in file in /opt/oracle/.env
To set environment :
$ cd $ORACLE_HOME; . ./.env
Installation complete.
Login as root and run root.sh
This is where all the problems start. I log into another term as
root, set the env settings like it says (for both the oracle dba
user and root just to be safe) with the .env script and then I
try to run root.sh as root and receive the message:
[root@localhost orainst]# ./root.sh
Please set ORACLE_HOME, ORACLE_SID environment variables before
invoking this and run this as root
/bin/chmod: oracle: No such file or directory
/bin/chmod: oracle: No such file or directory
[root@localhost orainst]#
The problem that I have here is that the ORACLE_HOME and
ORACLE_SID are set. When I echo these variables they are set:
[root@localhost orainst]# echo $ORACLE_HOME
/opt/oracle
[root@localhost orainst]# echo $ORACLE_SID
doug
What seems to be the problem here? The one other thing here is
that I have verified that the oratab file has been created. I was
not able to find the oratab.sh script but I found a oratab in
/etc. I read in the documentation that this should be in
/var/opt/oracle. I have copied the /etc/oratab to this location
just to make sure. Can anyone tell me what it is that I need to
do to run root.sh and exactly what the next step is in this crasy
install process.
Thank you for your time.
