Verifying and Updating the redhat-release File

it as a supported OS. However, the installer of 10g 10.1.0.3 does not recognize Red Hat Enterprise

Linux 4 as a supported release yet. This means that you will have to edit the /etc/redhat-release

file. It is not recommend to execute "runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs" since this will disable

other checks you may need.

On Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (for 10g R1) you have to change the /etc/redhat-release file to

make Oracle 10g believe it is running on a supported release.

Regarding Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, the installer for 10g 10.1.0.3 does not recognize Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 4 as a supported release but 10g R2 OUI does.

To change the /etc/redhat-release file, you can simply copy and paste the following commands:

su - root

# cp /etc/redhat-release /etc/redhat-release.orig

# cat > /etc/redhat-release << EOF

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 3 (Taroon)

EOF

After you are done with the Oracle 10g installation, undo the changes you made to /etc/redhat-

release:

su - root

# cp /etc/redhat-release.orig /etc/redhat-release
