Yet another case of a 21" monitor?

From technet, right *under* the download links

Directions to extract the files

Run "gunzip <filename>" on all the files.
- Eg.: gunzip Linux9i_Disk1.cpio.gz
Extract the cpio archives with the command "cpio -idmv < <filename>"
- Eg.: cpio -idmv <Linux9i_Disk1.cpio
Please read Oracle9i Database Release Notes Release 9.0.1 for Linux before installing.
