Last updated on JANUARY 05, 2023

Purpose

This note explains the requirements that need to be met for a successful installation of the 10.2.0.X base release on Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS/ES 4.0 Linux x86.
 
It is NOT the purpose of this NOTE to repeat every "how-to" step that is presented in the 10gR2 Installation Guide manual. For example this NOTE does not include how to create the Linux OS account named "oracle", nor does it cover how to set environment variables. Both are adequate covered in Chapter 2 "Oracle Database Preinstallation Requirements" of the 10gR2 Installation Guide manual.

The 10.2.0.X media is no longer available for download from OTN, but customers can request the media by following the process in <Note 1071023.1>.

Scope

This procedure is meant for those planning/trying to install Oracle Server 10.2.0.X.0 on Redhat 4.0 on the x86 platform. Since it is the expressed goal to keep Oracle Enterprise Linux functionally IDENTICAL to RHEL, this NOTE is also completely applicable to OEL 4 (update 4 or higher).
