The software is on the USB-drive.

Please see the following:

Quote:
bash-4.1$ ls /dev/sd*
/dev/sda /dev/sda1 /dev/sda2
-bash-4.1$

I need to access the software on the USB as a su called oracle. I guess I could try with root, but the instructions say switch to su - oracle.

I think I just need to access the drive

There is no USB-drive plugged in!

execute
Code:
lsusb
when you have plugged it in, this helps with more information.

Sorry if I'm not making myself clear.

I just need to access the USB drive as it is from the USB that I will run/install software - in the same way I could access a DVD to install/run software. However, I'm trying to access the drive with a su called oracle.

So weird,

I can access the DVD with spaces, as suggested, but I can't access the USB

Quote:
-bash-4.1$ ls
CC09-01D1 RHEL_6.3 x86_64 Disc 1
-bash-4.1$ cd CC09-01D1
-bash: cd: CC09-01D1: Permission denied

I'm trying to access the USB on CC09-01D1 but I get permission denied, but I can access the DVD on "RHEL_6.3 x86_64 Disc 1"

redhat is usually aimed at large enterprises (thats why the cost is so much per support contract). have you considered their community supported distro for home use: fedora ?

Hi Guys,

I totally have uncompress and compress on RHEL but when I issue the following command I get:

Quote:
[root@localhost Linux]# cd /
[root@localhost /]# sudo yum install compress uncompress ncompress
Loaded plugins: aliases, changelog, downloadonly, kabi, presto, product-id,
: refresh-packagekit, security, subscription-manager, tmprepo,
: verify, versionlock
Updating certificate-based repositories.
Unable to read consumer identity
Loading support for Red Hat kernel ABI
Setting up Install Process
No package compress available.
No package uncompress available.
Nothing to do

As I understood your above postings you have already compress installed, didn't you?

You're quite right.

It's just that I once again got the following error message so I for a minute assumed it wasn't installed:

Quote:
[root@localhost Linux]# ./newfile.bin
Preparing to install...
Extracting the JRE from the installer archive...
Unpacking the JRE...

gzip: /tmp/install.dir.27319/Linux/resource/vm.tar.Z: not in gzip format
/tmp/install.dir.27319/Linux/resource/vm.tar.Z: not in compressed format

gzip: /tmp/install.dir.27319/Linux/resource/vm.tar.Z: not in gzip format
The included VM could not be uncompressed (GZIP/UNCOMPRESS). Please try to
download the installer again and make sure that you download using 'binary'
mode. Please do not attempt to install this currently downloaded copy.

Not sure what else to do.

I just don't understand why I'm getting the message that the compress package isn't installed.
