Re: Installing 9.2.0.4 64bit on RHEL 4 x86_64

Hi Jack,
Have a read of Werner Puschitz's site:
http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle10g.shtml I've found it invaluable in the past installing Oracle on RHEL 3 x86 as it nicely sums up all the little bugs and glitches - far better than combing through online doco and Metalink!

Cheers,

Stu.
