Hi, I am trying setup Oracle8 for Linux by using the downloaded 805ship.tgz.
After gunzip and tar xvf, many dircectory created under
/usr/local/oracle.
After something pre-config to those .profile etc., run orainst,
everything seems fine but I don't know what is the Source Staging Area.
I set both ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_BASE to /usr/local/oracle. But the
Source Staging Area doesn't allow me to use the same pathname. I read
the documents under unixdoc but still don't know what I should input to
it. My guess is it maybe for storing the gunzip directory on somewhere
like /home/oracle/download/oracle/... to act as installing from CD-ROM
and run the orainst from it to install to /usr/local/oracle. So that we
need to specify /home/oracle/download/oracle to Source Staging Area.
Because the documents state that we could install more than one times
from there.
Any information to clear my concept would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
