Copy the contents of all the DVDs into the appropriate directories.
Hosts File
The /etc/hosts file must contain a fully qualified name for the server:
<IP-address> <fully-qualified-machine-name> <machine-name>
Setup
The following additional packages are required. Depending on the update/respin version of Enterprise
Linux, the exact package versions and locations may vary.

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 all
the necessary packages for an OEL 4.5 installation into a single tar file (11i-rh4-rpms.tar), making
subsequent installations much simpler.
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
Install the packages associated with Patch 4198954:
cd 4198954
rpm -Uvh compat-oracle-rhel4-1*
rpm -Uvh compat-libcwait-2*
Create the new groups and users:
groupadd oinstall
groupadd dba
groupadd oper
groupadd apache
Log into the oracle user. If you are using X emulation then set the DISPLAY environmental variable:
DISPLAY=<machine-name>: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.

button.
3. Select the "No" option, then click the "Next" button.
4. Select the "Single-node" option, then click the "Next" button.
5. Select the "fresh database" database type, enter a database name, in this case I used "PLAY",
then click the "Next" button.
