Create Mount Points
Now create mount points to store the Oracle 10g software. This
guide will adhere to the Optimal Flexible Architecture (OFA) for the naming
conventions used in creating the directory structure.
Issue the following commands as root:
# mkdir -p /u01/app/oracle
# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/oracle
# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/oracle
