Although the installation process is now the same for all platforms, there are still particulars
about the installation of Oracle that relate to specific platforms. Each release
of the Oracle Database Server software is shipped with its own set of documentation.
Included in each release are an installation guide, release notes (which include
installation information added after the installation guide was published), and a ???getting
started??? book. You should read all of these documents prior to starting the
installation process, since each of them contains invaluable information about the
specifics of the installation. Youwill need to consider details such as where to establish
the Oracle Home directory and where database files will reside. These issues are
covered in detail in the documentation. In addition to the hardcopy documentation,
online documentation is shipped on the database server media, and this provides
additional information regarding the database and related products.
