Oracle Database Discussions

Can this be? I sat for hours preparing my all new clean SUSE Linux 10.1 server for the installation of Oracle 10g (Standard Edition)... and when running the installer it simply tells me that SUSE 9 is needed...

I've found others here in the forum having experienced the same.

Maybe I just downloaded the wrong version of Oracle?

The main download page is at:

http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/index.html

I selected entry "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.1.0) for Linux x86" (the one directly below the Windows version):
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10201linuxsoft.html

The size of the file^^ is 668,734,007 bytes.

Or should i have downloaded entry "Oracle Database 10g Release 2 (10.2.0.2) for z/Linux":
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/oracle10g/htdocs/10202zlinuxsoft.html

The size of the file^^ is 838,518,746 bytes.

By the way, all these versions on the main page should have some kind of description, something like "This is the Linux Version for most standard 32Bit single and multiprocessor Intel compatible servers."

Well, since I'm completely stuck now with SUSE 10.1, is there any way to make the Oracle installer go on that SUSE version? Maybe SUSE can pretend to be version 9... but how do I achieve something freaky as this?

Thanks for any help, comments, suggestions...
