Re: Installing Oracle 10g on Linux -- OUCH!!

Hi,

if installing procedure is too complicated try this:

SuSE Linux Enterprise Version:

http://www.novell.com/linux/download_linux.html

Oracle 10.1.0.3 x86

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/in dex.html

Use the orarun packacke on SLES9 CD.
This make all the kernel adjustments, creating of oracle user and so on.

install gcc 3.3 rpm

to initialize kernel settings, create oracle user

-> /etc/init./oracle start

give created oracle user a password with

-> passwd oracle

modify /etc/passwd user oracle to use the bash shell not false

extract download
as user oracle

-> cpio -idmv < ship.db.cpio
-> Disk1/runInstaller

and there you go

There is an error in dbstart, dbshut:

correct in dbstart, dbshut: ORATAB=/etc/oratab

regards,

Toni
