Installing Oracle Xi/10g on Woody

  1. Get Oracle10g ;)
  2. get some diskspace, get some ram, get some swap, create users and groups for oracle ( oracle user is enough, you can go with group dba, user oracle, orainstall etc etc.. though.. )

  3. apt-get install make rpm binutils gcc
    ln -s /usr/bin/awk /bin/awk
    ln -s /usr/bin/rpm /bin/rpm
    It's also nice to go and tasksel -> c/c++ development
  4. Pretend you're a redhat:
    root@ox $cat > /etc/redhat-release
    Red Hat Linux release 2.1 (drupal)
    ^D
  5. uncompress your install and run installation script: /opt/oracle/Disk1/runInstall
  6. Make some choice, push some buttons, run some runme.sh scripts, ignore two compilation errors and voile'a:
    eyck@ox $ sqlplus

    Enter user-name: eyck@OX
    Enter password:
    Connected to:
    Oracle Database 10g Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production
