Installing Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0) on CentOS 5.5

Tweet

This post is more about to test some features such as Video recording provided by vmware than to explain how to install Oracle Database 11gR2 on CentOS. Anyway you can see how it was easy to complete those steps. As soon as possible I'll write some lines about what files I have modified on CentOS to run a successful installation (I mean.. rpm required, sysctl parameters and so on)

Updated:

These steps describe how to install a listener and a database after the Oracle Database software is installed-
