The following function buttons appear on the installation screens.
oraInventory
directory and click OK.
The File Locations screen allows you to enter the full path for the source and destination locations of Oracle9i Application Server.
products.jar

UNIX Group Name:
prompt> id
orainstRoot.sh
script from your Oracle home to grant permissions to the root user only. You must have root privileges to run this script. The script creates pointers to the components as the installer installs them in the system so that they can be identified later in the installation procedure. It produces the /var/opt/oracle/oraInst.loc
file, which provides a pointer to the oraInventory
directory.
After you have run the script, click Retry to continue.
The Installation Types screen allows you to select the Oracle9i Application Server installation option that you are licensed to use.
The Component Locations screen allows you to select alternative locations for some components.
Click individual components to view and change destination location path. The installer enables you to change the destination location of the components displayed on the screen.
TMP
