Re: VERY URGENT! Oracle linux Installer problem

I cant remember if I had exactly the same errors. But I think so. After asking oracle support they told me to make sure that there is enough RAM and enough swap-space, as you need much much space to install.

As I had enough RAM (>=256 MB) I simply encreased swap-space and it worked. Another thing is to use the right version of JRE. take a quick look at the doc-directory and read the pre-installation-steps. There they say which version to use and other usefull hints (environment variables, space, etc.)
