This is a collection of scripts to automate the installation of Oracle 10g. Just download them and use "run-parts" as root:
# run-parts ./

Most of the options you're likely to want to change are in the CONFIG file, anything more major and you'll have to role up your sleeves and modify the scripts themselves - not that they are very complicated.

You will need to make sure the ASM RPMs are available in the same directory that you call run-parts from so that 20-create_asm.sh can installed them. For RHEL5 these are available from:

This series of blog posts has information about automating more of the Oracle installation process in a much more accessible form than the Oracle documentation:
