If this is for you to play with, it doesn't really matter. Put it all on /u01. But if this is a db for practical use (dev/test/prod), follow the best practices and keep them separated. ie:
/u01    binaries, log files, etc...
/u02/oradata/SID/
/u03/oradata/SID/
/u04/oradata/SID/
and so on...

The general idea is to keep filesystem fragmentation to a minimum on mount points where datafiles will exist, and to provide maximum i/o throughput for the database. The other mount points will be used for the database... to spread out your control files, redo logs, datafiles, etc...

See Steve Adams' site http://www.ixora.com.au/tips for some excellent reading on this topic.

Hi


Just give the mount points names you are happy with

The examples you normally see use U01,U02.


It basically means that your software should be installed on different
    
mount
  
point/disk than your db files.

I'm stuck in the mount section of the tutorial.  I'm only trying to setup
one DB and I don't get how I should setup a mount point for the software
    
and
  
one for each db file using /pm pattern.  P is the string constant and m is
the fixed length key to distinguish between mount points.

I've been trying to *prepare* my sol box to install Oracle.......

The freakin' install guide is 202 pages long...Is there an easier method
      
to
    
install oracle than reading 200+ pages?  Anyone know any good tutorials
      
or
  
websites where I can get some newbie info on installing oracle?
