Does unzip have a way to preserve the owner? I see the -X option in
the man page, maybe you have to add that. I'd suggest using tar
instead, and if you want it compressed, add the -z option.
zip/unzip are basically DOS programs (they are that old). They only
store DOS-type info (maybe with long file names).

I find the unzip-ed files and directories are all owned by root/root
instead of oracle/oinstall as I expected.
Am I expecting too much?
Maybe should use gzip/gunzip instead?
use tar, star, pax, cpio, afio or similar. All are *x programs, and some
may even understand extended attributes.
gzip and bzip2 compress single files, such as one of the above's
archives. I'm not sure you'd want to expect the CPU cycles to compress a
decently large archive.
