Hi!

Im slowly learning and Im about to install Oracles database 10g on SuSe 10.1 (using VWware).

I will use this thread to get trough the installation, with your help Cool

I have used this guide --> http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/install.102/b15660.pdf
(the official guide for installing 10g on a x86 machine)

So, my first issue! Embarassed

Im trying to check the Configuring Name Resolution on page 35.
When using the hostname command as a root user I dont get any answer, according to the installation manual I should se something like this:

myhost.mycomputer.com

I only get a blank row.

So my first question (more will surely follow):

1. How do I set the host name?

Well, I have follwed the installation guide, but when I try to run the runInstaller I get an error.

It says that the OS is not one of the supported ones, in this case Suse 9 or above. (its 10.1). The installation process stops.

Anyone have any ideas of how to proceed from here?
