Install Oracle Enterprise Linux on VMWare

In today's post I will install Oracle Enterprise Linux downloaded from eDelivery . Download first four CD's (32 bit) & unzip them on your windows harddisk. I unzipped them under "c:\Atul\Downloads\Linux" directiry & extracted iso files. Start VMWAre from Start/Programs Menu & select Machine which we installed yesterday. On Menu bar click on
VM -> Settings (Ctrl + D) Select CD-ROM & under Connection select Use ISO Image as mentioned in Picture.












Once you select first iso image & click on "Start This Virtual Machine" , it will start Oracle Enterprise Linux Install on your Virtual Machine.















Select Installation type as Server






You can select Automatic Disk Partitioning but if you want to partition as per your needs you can choose Manual Partition.















Enter Hostname for your machine, I selected my site name i.e. teachMeOracle.com




When it prompts for second CD , From VM -> Settings , click on CD-ROM and change location to second iso file and then for third CD. Make sure installation completes successfully. In next post I am going to cover step by step Oracle Applications R12 Installation on Linux Virtual machine which you installed just now on your windows PC/Laptop. Make sure you have downloaded R12 Disks .
