There are always some special instructions that have to be followed when
putting Oracle on Linux, especially a non-supported distribution like
Mandrake. Here are a couple of sites with good instructions for installing
Oracle9i on Linux:
http://www.idevelopment.info/ (click the Oracle link and
then the DBA Tips link, then search for "Installing " on the resulting page),
http://www.puschitz.com/, and
http://thomasfly.com/Oranux/Oracle9i.htm.
When I've done this (I've installed Oracle8i and Oracle9i on both Mandrake
and some non-supported Red Hat versions), it seems that you can never find
everything in one place, however. In other words, I've always had to search
Google, along with
http://technet.oracle.com and
http://metalink.oracle.com,
and then I've had to put the pieces together myself.
Good luck!

Hello all,
In advance, excuse my English.
I have a small problem of installation with Oracle 9i (Mandrake 9.1)
At the beginning I have got a problem of jre! I give the way of the JRE
of sun in the file oraparam.ini then I launch the runInstaller. There, it's
ok.
But when I press on the button install, it arrives has 100% in 3 seconds
and the files are not copied. The install thus fails lamentably. Thank you
to help me.
Christophe
