Note - If you already have an operating system besides Linux installed (for example, the Solaris OS), it will appear as a partition during the installation process. If you choose to install Oracle Linux on that partition, it will overwrite the OS. If you wish to preserve the partition, you must install Oracle Linux on a different partition.
