Hi,

I'm totally new to Linux. I have to install Oracle database on a virtual machine which has redhat linux installed. on my workstation win7 OS is installed. I am using PUTTY to connect to that VM. Oracle DB for Linux is already download on to a shared directory.

Exercise: Install following test database on HOST testdb1vm.ab.company.com
1. DB
Version 10.2.0.5
ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/app/product/10.2.0/db_home
ORACLE_BASE=/oracle/app
ORACLE_SID=DB0000

what I have to do is:

- install Oracle DB 10g for Linux on that virtual machine by using the downloaded Oracle DB on one of the shared disks called install(\\install) (:I)

As i am totally new to Linux, its very pitty that I am not able to start Oracle Universal Installer......plz help so that my Oracle Installer startes by using putty....rest I know very well, what I have to do after installation starts :-)
[root@testdb1vm ~]# fdisk -l

[root@testdb1vm ~]#
Above is the detail of the machine on which I have to install Oracle DB. But I even dont know how to e.g., explore above drives/partitions to see where Oracle-home is or where I am supposed to install Oracle db and how to further open these files/directories by using CD in putty.

Thank alot in advance.

Regards....
