[Herts] Oracle on Linux?

[Neale Roberts]

I recently installed Oracle 10g onto my Linux server running Fedora Core 1.
All you need to do to fool Oracle is the following:

# cp /etc/fedora-release /etc/fedora-release.orig
# echo "Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)" >
/etc/fedora-release

Oracle then thinks it is installing on RedHat Enterprise 3. I had no further
installation problems and after it is installed you can restore the original
fedora-release file.

Regards,
Neale

Since I'm going for an Oracle certification, it would be nice to have Oracle
installed at home for studying purposes. Running their install on Suse 9.1
gives an error that only UnitedLinux, and RedHat 3 & 4 (?) are supported
operating systems.

Anyone got any experience with this. As far as I can see UnitedLinux was
influenced by earlier versions of SuSE, but what is the status now? My
current
plan is to try an install of Fedora Core 1 on which people out there seem to
have successfully installed Oracle. But would it work on Core 2 also?

Cheers,
Thorstein
