Chapter 30. Preparing Red Hat Enterprise Linux for an Oracle Database Installation
This chapter will guide you though the pre-installation procedures for installing Oracle 9i on Red Hat Enterprise Linux
30.1. Unpacking and Downloading the Oracle9i Installation Files
Download Oracle9i for Linux from http://otn.oracle.com/software/products/oracle9i/htdocs/linuxsoft.html.
Here are two methods for unpacking the Oracle installation files, choose one. First method - this method uses less disk space and should be faster:
zcat lnx_920_disk1.cpio.gz | cpio -idmv zcat lnx_920_disk2.cpio.gz | cpio -idmv zcat lnx_920_disk3.cpio.gz | cpio -idmv
Second method - this method first uncompresses then unpacks the installation files:
gunzip lnx_920_disk1.cpio.gz lnx_920_disk2.cpio.gz lnx_920_disk3.cpio.gz Linux9i_Disk3.cpio.gz cpio -idmv < lnx_920_disk1.cpio cpio -idmv < lnx_920_disk2.cpio cpio -idmv < lnx_920_disk3.cpio
You should now have 3 directories containing installation files, if
ls looks like this it worked correctly:
$ ls Disk1 Disk2 Disk3
