: After mounting the CD ROM, you need to start a small program called

: orainst itself and then start it to install the rest.

My experience is in installing V 7.0.15.4 under IRIX 5.2. After mounting the CD-ROM as example /CDROM (This is done automatically by the IRIX media deamon) you start orainst from the CDROM and declare that you are using a permanent staging area. All works pretty good.
