The answer is simple:
1) Gain access to Metalink.
2) Upgrade to 9.2 because 8i is no longer supported.
3) Before that upgrade to White Box or ES 3.0 proper. An interesting
   thing is that Oracle*Installer 10g recognizes FC3 as supported
   version. Oracle support personnel, unfortunately, does not.
Metalink is the Word. In the beginning there was Word. And the Word was
Larry. And Larry said: let there be Metalink. And there was Metalink,
sometimes faster, sometimes stinking slow, but there it was.
You cannot do anything about patches, upgrades and research without access
to Metalink. Sorry.

I am running oracle8i on red hat 8.  How do I find out what patches need to
be applied and what patches are already installed.  I don't have access to
oracle meta link.
