You might be tight on disk space though. I didn't do any kernel changes. I followed instructions from a niceguy: jordan.fortwayne.com/oracle/...
In those instructions everything is welll explained. I downloaded java from place recomended in thee instrructions. I bought oracle CD for few dollars on ebay because download would take forever. Hope this helps
