I am at the point of now running the ./runInstaller, I get an error.

So I downloaded the 2 .zip files of Oracle, and placed them in a dir I called /Oracle11, and in that dir, I extracted the files, and the structure is: oracle@Prometheus:/Oracle11> ls -ltra

According to the error, the issue is with the oraparam.ini, after doing a sys wide find, that file only exists with the new Oracle files for installing, in the dir: Oracle11/database/install/oraparam.ini.
So do I really need to modify this file? Are all those config files I dealt with in all the previous prep steps not being used?
Is there a better place where I can move the database extracted dir’s to so this .ini file will be happy?
Should I place them in a DVD and source them that way?
