Installing the Database
To install the database:

page 12.
2. Insert the first Oracle Database CD-ROM and mount it using the following commands:
# mkdir -p /mnt/oradisk
# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/oradisk
where /dev/cdrom is the CD device.
3. Verify that you are in the top level directory:
# cd /
4. Start the installation of the database by entering the following:
# /mnt/oradisk/InstallDatabase
NOTE: All commands and files are case-sensitive.
5. The script will ask if you wish to continue. Enter “y.”

case, install the missing RPMs and restart the installation.
