Creating the Oracle inventory pointer file (/etc/oraInst.loc)
Changing groupname of /u01/app/oracle/oraInventory to oinstall.
#
Then click Continue
- Product-specific Prerequisite Checks: 
Verify that all checks have been passed.
Make sure that the status of each Check is set to "Succeeded".
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS 4 ignore the warnings for binutils, gcc, and openmotif and proceed.
If a check fails, see Chapter 29, Oracle 10g and Linux Installation Errors and Troubleshooting.

Note

The "Retry" button does not work after you have fixed one of the failed checks.
Click Next
- Select Database Configuration then select "General Purpose".
Click Next
- Specify Database Configuration Options: 
	- Global Database Name: for example use "orcl". 
	- SID: for example use "orcl".
Click Next
- Select Database Management Option then select "Use Database Control for Database Management".

    Select "File System" in this example.

            - Specify Database file location: /u01/app/oracle/oradata/ 
                If you want to comply with OFA, you might want to select 
		another mount point than '/u01', for example /u02/oradata.
Click Next
- Specify Backup and Recovery Options then select "Do no enable Automated Backups" for this example.
Click Next
- Specify Database Schema Passwords
Make sure that the passwords do not start with a number. this will cause an error message "ORA-00988 missing or invalid password" or something similar later.
