this is a really dumb question

[Papsomax]

ok, yes i'm a fledgling n00b to linux, however i have oracle 9si/ax that i want to install...i know you just can't click on the cd-rom icon and the install iso to start the install process....so how do you????????????

hooah

[Christoph]

Look around in the root directory of the CD for an install script. it should be obviously named.

[Papsomax]

Yes there are two install scripts, however I know you just can't click on them to make the, work. I tried but nothing happen.

Try something like ./installname.sh

[Christoph]

You'll need to run the script on the CLI, eg in a terminal emulator like konsole or xterm.

OK, did that and this is error message I get:

[richard@localhost cdrom]$ ./runInstaller

You need to install a package with libstdc++ and libc6. Which distro are you using?

Mandrake 9.2 I think.

You should be able to use RPM Drake to install those packages off the CDs.
