Preparing OEL 5 for Oracle EBS r12

Hi, I do preparation for installing oracle EBS on OEL 5. My environment are in Virtual Box. After installing OEL 5, what I do is :

• Setup reproforge configuration following these steps :

# wget http://pkgs.repoforge.org/rpmforge-release/rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm # rpm -Uvh rpmforge-release-0.5.2-2.el5.rf.x86_64.rpm source : https://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=2332788

• Setup yum configuration :

# cd /etc/yum.repos.d
# wget http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-el5.repo

open with editor (vi) :
# vi /etc/yum.repos.d/public-yum-el5.repo

change : enable=0 to enable=1 (all of repo)

#yum list (for updating repository to public yum)

source : http://public-yum.oracle.com

I need to read my external hardisk which formatted by ntfs, so I need to install fuse and ntfs-3g packages :

#yum install fuse

#yum install ntfs-3g

These two steps for easy step to install anything from repository.

After that I extracted file Staging R12.

#cd Source

#tar xfvz  StageR12.tar

(to be continued) :D
