Where to Get Additional Installation Information

For more information about installing Oracle Database, including information about the tasks not described in this guide, refer to one of the following guides:

• If you want to install the software on a single system, then refer to Oracle Database Installation Guide for Linux x86.

2 Logging In to the System as root

Note:

You must install the software from an X Window System workstation, an X terminal, or a PC or other system with X server software installed.

  1. Start a local terminal session, for example, an X terminal (xterm).

  2. If you are not installing the software on the local system, then enter the following command to enable the remote host to display X applications on the local X server:

     $ xhost fully_qualified_remote_host_name

     For example:

     $ xhost somehost.us.acme.com

  3. If you are not installing the software on the local system, then use the ssh, rlogin, or telnet command to connect to the system where you want to install the software:

     $ telnet fully_qualified_remote_host_name

  4. If you are not logged in as the root user, then enter the following command to switch user to root:

     $ su - root password: #
