the following is a quick and dirty hack I built after installation.

Machine was an Athlon64 with 4 GB RAM, install was done under VMware
Workstation 5 with 1,5 GB RAM (Debian Sarge R0). Host system was also
Sarge stable.

Now fire off the installer and it should do.

Note: Two error messages (one concerning "ihsodbc ctx_on", one
"all_no_orcl") will appear, click them away with "Continue".
Before running "/home/oracle/product/10.1.0/Db_1/root.sh" as root, do a
"ln -s /etc /etc/rc.d" or it will fail.

After install do a "ln -s /etc/oratab /var/opt/oracle/oratab" and create
the following files, works for me:

--- /home/oracle/.bash_profile ---

# export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/OraHome1
export ORACLE_HOME=/home/oracle/product/10.1.0/Db_1
export ORACLE_BASE=/home/oracle

export TNS_ADMIN=$ORACLE_HOME/config

# export NLS_SORT=GERMAN
export LC_ALL=en_US
export LC_LANG=en_US

export NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1

 if [ -z $LD_LIBRARY_PATH ]
 then
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORACLE_HOME/lib
 else
 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:$ORACLE_HOME/lib
 fi
 if [ -z $CLASSPATH ]
 then
  CLASSPATH=$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib
  CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$ORACLE_HOME/network/jlib
 export CLASSPATH
 else
  CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$ORACLE_HOME/JRE:$ORACLE_HOME/jlib
  CLASSPATH=$CLASSPATH:$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/jlib:$ORACLE_HOME/network/jlib
 export CLASSPATH
 fi

--- end of /etc/init.d/oradb ---

The Oracle Application Server also needs the .bashrc.

Make the init-Stuff, fire up the server and connect via
http://hostname:5500/em or sqlplus:

chmod 755 /etc/init.d/oradb
update-rc.d oradb defaults
/etc/init.d/oradb start

Have fun!

Hope this helps and is useful for someone.

Cheers,
