Oracle 8.0.5 on Debian

• Pre-install script orainst/oratab.sh cannot be run in Debian without a small modification. You must replace all GROUPS in that script into another name, because GROUPS is a keyword on bash.
• I can not install Oracle from scratch on Debian 2.2, but installation on Debian 2.1 runs fine after system upgraded to 2.2. Anyone can help me on this?
• Don't forget to update /etc/services
  oracle 1521/tcp
• Startup script sample
  place this file on /etc/init.d/oracle, then make a symlink from every runlevel you want to set Oracle to start/stop automatically e.g.:
  ln -s /etc/init.d/oracle /etc/rc2.d/S90oracle

#! /bin/sh
ORA_HOME=/home/oracle/app/product/oracle/8.0.5
ORA_OWNER=oracle

if [ ! -f $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart -o ! -d $ORA_HOME ]
then
  echo "Oracle startup: cannot start"
  exit
fi

case $1 in 
  'start')
    echo "Oracle startup"
    env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORA_HOME/lib su $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbstart
    env ORACLE_HOME=$ORA_HOME su $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/lsnr-start
    ;;

  'stop')
    echo "Oracle shutdown"
    env ORACLE_HOME=$ORA_HOME su $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/lsnr-stop
    env LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$ORA_HOME/lib su $ORA_OWNER -c $ORA_HOME/bin/dbshut
    ;;
    
  *)
    echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
    exit 1
