Due to all the package inter-dependencies, it probably makes sense to copy all these packages from the

CDs to a single directory, then install then using the following command. For convenience, I wrapped allthe necessary packages for an OEL 4.5 installation into a single tar file (11i-rh4-rpms.tar), makingsubsequent installations much simpler.rpm -Uvh *.rpm

Install the packages associated with Patch 4198954:cd 4198954rpm -Uvh compat-oracle-rhel4-1*rpm -Uvh compat-libcwait-2*

Create the new groups and users:groupadd oinstallgroupadd dbagroupadd opergroupadd apache

useradd -g oinstall -G dba oraclepasswd oracle

useradd -g oinstall -G apache apachepasswd apache

Create the directories in which the Oracle software will be installed:mkdir -p /u01chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01

Login as the oracle user and add the following line at the end of the .bash_profile file:# Oracle 9iLD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19; export LD_ASSUME_KERNEL

Installation

Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable:DISPLAY=:0.0; export DISPLAY

Start the Rapid Install Wizard by issuing the following commands:cd /Stage11i/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/chmod u+x rapidwiz./rapidwiz

Follow any instructions and rerun as requested. The Rapid Installation Wizard installation is shown below.
