Go ahead - the installer will make you use two ORACLE_HOME
directories, thus separating one install from the other,
registry and service naming wise.
Do not configure the network stack for your 9i installation,
just for the 10, and make sure the 10g listener resolves
9i, too (the 9i instance will eventually register itself
with the listener, so don't worry)
