Installing 9iAS on Sun Solaris 5.7

Question

Hi,
I am trying to install 9ias on SunOS 5.7. We have a 8i database up and running
on the boxalready. During the 9ias installation, we entered a separate
oracle_home, for a new instance we created. After, a dialog box poped up and
asked me to open another terminal and login as root to run root.sh in that
terminal- what I want to know is what will this root.sh script do to my
existing(original)oracle_home, environment variables, .profile etc.?
Your help is much appreciated.

You can read the root.sh script in your 9iAS home (copy below). Make sure that when root is logged in the ORACLE_HOME gets set properly so the CHMODs etc act in the correct directories.
