Oracle reorganized the installation CDs and installation process. Installing the base Oracle database software and creating the starter database can now be done with only 1 CD.

There are a number of conditions and prerequisites that need to be met before attempting the install. Some include operating system (version), hardware (memory) and connectivity. To have a successful install, you are expected to read and follow at least the quick-install manual for your operating system.

To get help here you should mention the version of Oracle (10g already has a release 2), the version of operating system, and the exact error message.

My guess is that you installed on a Windows XP Home laptop with no connection to the internet or any other network. The reasons I guess this:

• You do not mention operating system. WIndows administrators rarely do as they seem to forget other operating systems exist;
• Windows laptops often suppress the entire network subsystem, even local loopback, if there is no network connection, since the net hardware is turned off unless there is some connection;
• XP Home users who show up here have lots of problems and want quick solutions, but forget to tell us what the problems are that they need to solve. ('TCP/IP messages appearing lots of times' is not a problem. It is a symptom created by the problem. The message itself often describes the problem.)
