    1. Preparation

      2. Before starting installation, you should consider the following things:

      1. Prepare Installation CD-ROM
      2. Determine the Installation user name.
        The default name is oracle, and the user is automatically created by the Install Navigator for Oracle.
      3. Determine the Installation group name.
        The default name is oinstall, and the group is automatically created by the Install Navigator for Oracle.
      4. Determine the Administration group name.
        The default name is dba, and the group is automatically created by the Install Navigator for Oracle.
      5. Determine the Oracle SID.
        The default name is orcl.
      6. Determine the Oracle Base.
        The default directory is /opt/oracle
      7. Determine the Oracle Home.
        The default directory is /opt/oracle/product/9.0.4/as_1

    2. Check the Installation Requirements

      3. The system must meet the following minimum hardware requirements.

      CPU PentiumIII 450MHz
      Physical memory(RAM) Java Developer Topology:512MB
      Portal and Wireless Developer:1GB
      OracleAS Infrastructure 10g:1GB
      Disk space Java Developer Topology:520MB
      Portal and Wireless Developer:1.1GB
      OracleAS Infrastructure 10g:2.5GB
      Space in /tmp Java Developer Topology:250MB
      Portal and Wireless Developer:250MB
      OracleAS Infrastructure 10g:250MB
      Swap space Java Developer Topology:1.5GB
      Portal and Wireless Developer:1.5GB
      OracleAS Infrastructure 10g:1.5GB
      JDK Prepackaged JDK1.4.2

      Note:

      If there is less than 250 MB of disk space available in the /tmp directory, set the TEMP and TMPDIR environment variables to the oracle userfs environment. The Install Navigator for Oracle would unknowingly switch user from root to oracle, hence to set these environment variables for the root user's environment doesn't work at all this time.

      1. Create a directory that have less than 250MB free disk space.

        # mkdir /opt/tmp
        # chmod 1777 /opt/tmp

      2. Add the TEMP, TMPDIR environment variables to the oracle user's shell startup file(.bash_profile)

        export TEMP=/opt/tmp
        export TMPDIR=/opt/tmp

    3. Set the environments

      4. In order to install Oracle Application Server 10g in Asianux, you need to configure this system as described below. In this seciton you will learn how to use Oracle Application Server 10g with oracle9i_support package and without it.

      The case of using oracle9i_support :

      oracle9i_support is equivalent fanctionality to the patch #3006854 . You do not need to apply additional patch if you have installed this package.

      1. oracle9i_support is not installed by default. You need to install manually from Asianux Install CD.
        2. # rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/Asianux/RPMS/oracle9i_support-1.0-2AX.i386.rpm
      2. Change the version of gcc from 3.2.3 to 2.96. It can be done using chgcc.sh script provide by oracle9i_support. 
        3. # chgcc.sh -v 296
        Upon the completion, you need to revert the version of gcc back to 3.2.3. To do that please execute chgcc.sh script as following.

        # chgcc.sh -v 323
      3. Please proceed to the next step.

      The case of not using oracle9i_support :

      1. Change gcc and g++

        Put gcc296 and g++296 first in the $PATH variable by creating the following symbolic links. These are required for the relinking of some Oracle binaries as the root user:

        # mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc323
        # mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++323
        # ln -s /usr/bin/gcc296 /usr/bin/gcc
        # ln -s /usr/bin/g++296 /usr/bin/g++

        To restore the system to gcc3.2.3 after the Oracle installation type:

        # rm /usr/bin/gcc
        # rm /usr/bin/g++
        # mv /usr/bin/gcc323 /usr/bin/gcc # mv /usr/bin/g++323 /usr/bin/g++

      2. Install the 3006854 patch

        To install the patch for your system as the root user, Enter a command similar to the following:

        # unzip p3006854_9204_LINUX.zip
        # cd 3006854
        # sh rhel3_pre_install.sh

      3. Please proceed to the next step.

    4. Mount the Product Disc

      5. Log in and switch user to root. In order to mount the disc, right-click the Desktop and then click Mount or enter a command similar to the following:

      $ su -
      # mount /mnt/cdrom

    5. Start the Install Navigator for Oracle

      6. To run Install Navigator for Oracle as the root user, Enter a command similar to the following:

      # oranavi
