I am a new user to Linux/Unix.
I am trying to Install Oracle 11g on Fedora 8 Linux on Vmware machine.
I followed the instructions but got stuck where the process requires the following packages:
rpm
binutils-2.*
elfutils_libelf-0.*
glibc-2.*
glibc-common-2.*
libgcc-4.*
libstdc++-4.*
make-3.*
elfutils-libelf-devel-0.*
glibc-devel-2.*
gcc-4.*
gcc-c++4.*
libstdc++devel-4.*
unixODBC-2.*
yum
libaio libaio-devel
unixODBC-devel
systat
compat-libstdc++
I searched for these packages without success.I thought the way forward may be the Fedora 8 DVD which I downloaded to my hard-disk. I this may end up installing Fedora 8 from DVD to my machine. When all I want is to instal the specific packages Oracle need.
Can anyone tell me how can install only the programs.files that I need?

Thank you,

Try opening a command prompt, as root, and running:

yum install binutils -y


Repeat for each dependent.
