With the 10g installer, you can pass it the -ignoreSysPrereqs flag and
it will happily start up on any flavor of Linux.

Does anyone know why Oracle does not support a client for the freely =3D
available Linux distributions such as Redhat 9 or Fedora?  I can =3D
understand not supporting every flavor of Linux for the Database Server,
=3D but at least provide a client.  With 8i and 9i I have been able to
work =3D around the issues, but it appears that 10g runInstaller checks
the OS =3D version and refuses to start.  In many cases I just want to =
run
tora, =3D and would prefer not to pay $500 for a license of ES to do so.
