Summary of System Requirements
The requirements listed in this release note are a summary of the system requirements listed in Chapter 1 of the Oracle8 Installation Guide for LINUX.
Requirements for Successful Installation
Successful installation of release 8.0.5 of the Oracle Server on a LINUX system requires:
- The Oracle8 Server release 8.0.5 CD-ROM. This contains the software and system-specific documentation for this release. The CD Insert provides instructions for mounting the CD-ROM.
- The Oracle8 Installation Guide for LINUX and the Oracle8 Administrator's Reference for LINUX. These are included in printed form with this release and in PDF and HTML formats on the Oracle8 Server CD-ROM. The CD Insert explains how to use the HTML browser provided on the CD-ROM.
- The README.FIRST file. This contains final changes, and possibly restrictions, for this release. This file is displayed when the Oracle Installer is started. Read it carefully.
Appendix B of the Oracle8 Installation Guide for LINUX provides LINUX commands that are commonly required during installation.
The Oracle8 Migration Guide is useful when migrating or upgrading an existing Oracle installation. This is included in printed form and on the Oracle8 Documentation CD-ROM.
The Oracle8 Documentation CD-ROM contains all documentation for individual Oracle products, but is not essential for installation. The CD-ROM Insert lists the book titles available.
Installation Restrictions
The following restrictions are specific to the installation of the Oracle8 Server on LINUX 2.0.34. Usage restrictions and limitations are not covered here. Check the README file in the $ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/doc directory before using the Oracle8 Server. README files for other products on the Oracle8 Server distribution are in the doc or admin/doc directories for the respective products.
Very Large Files
Oracle8 provides native support for large files. However, you should verify that your file system and volume manager do not impose file size limits.
Error Message Documentation
All error messages for products in the 8.0.5 release are documented in the Oracle8 Error Messages manual.
