Install Help! 11G XE on Oracle Linux 6.2 on Oracle VBox 4.1.12 on Win7x64

Peter HartgerinkApr 14 2012 — edited Apr 15 2012
Need to do :
Install Oracle 11G R2 XE on Win7 x64

Problem :
Oracle 11G R2 XE does not support 64 bit Windows, only 32 bit Windows. It does support 64 bit Linux however.

Strategy :
Install Oracle VirtualBox
Install 64 bit Linux (Oracle Linux 6.2) to run inside Oracle VirtualBox
Install Oracle 11G R2 XE running on Oracle Linux 6.2 inside VirtualBox

Done so far :
- set up Virtual Box
- installed Oracle Linux 6.2

Help Needed :
How do I go about installing Oracle 11G R2 XE on Linux 6.2 inside VirtualBox?
Any tips?
I've never done this before.
Of course I will use online manuals etc, but if anyone has any advice/tips/experience to share, I'd appreciate it.

Thanks !
