I just installed Oracle 10g XE on a RH Linux 4 host. It seems to be
functioning correctly, but the Oracle XE installer did not install the
application where I wanted it to go. It would not accept any effort on
my part to tell it where to place the application. I created a special
LVM filesystem specifically for Oracle XE, but the installer placed
the whole application including the system and data files in the /usr/
lib directory. This filesystem is on a physical partition and I do not

XE. It seems to be that the only viable alternative is to move the
data files (system, user, etc.) to the LVM filesystem that I
originally created for it. I have moved non-XE data files (i.e.
tables, etc.) using the alter command, but I have never moved system
data files.
