Table 4.1:
Software components & websites
that offer it for download
Figure 4.1 demonstrates using the
cksumcommand to verify that a downloaded file is
complete and uncorrupted. The value returned should be compared with
the value posted on Oracle's download page. After it is verified, the
gunzip command is used to
extract the file. Once this is complete, the
cpiocommand is used to extract the archived files.
Note that 10g release 2 files are simply unzipped.
The author suggests using the gnome-toasterto burn the install files to a CD. The application can be
launched from the command line with the gtoaster command.
Gnome-Toaster is very easy to use. Simply highlight the files and
directories to be burned that are located on the upper right of the
screen and drag them into the lower right portion of the screen. Then
click the ?Record? button. Burn the files and directories starting
inside the directory ?disk1? as shown in Figure 4.2.
The author suggests creating one CD with the files
for the modified kernel, ocfs,
oracleasm,
rlwrapand the Code Depot.
