Free deep freeze clone for linux?

I'd like to set up a lab of computers for people with learning disabilities, but I'd like to do so with deep freeze. Unfortunately, it costs money I don't have.
Is there some way to boot through a linux system, have it enforce certain directories' consistency with a master, and then continue booting through to Windows...?

I just want to know if there is a way to freeze your linux installation like the Deep Freeze program from Faronics.

QVPN for Linux?

Is there a QVPN Client equivalent for Linux?
After some struggles, I have QVPN 1.4.1.2 working properly on my laptop, and when running under Vista it will connect to my WRVS4400N. However, I run Ubuntu Linux most of the time (it's a dual boot laptop) and it would be great to have a native QVPN clone for Linux that works with the WRVS4400N.
QVPN running under under Linux Wine will connect but it requires an IP address (vs. a domain name) to connect, and once connected it fails with ping problems. I have QVPNworking properly in an Oracle Virtualbox Linux Host and a Vista Guest machine, but as always Vista is slow, buggy, etc.
I have explored the various options inside the Linux network connection manager, (anyconnect, VPNC, StrongSwan, OpenVPN, PPTP) and none of them offer the same sort of username, password, and certificate mechanism that it required by QVPN and the WRVS4400N.
So does Cisco or any other supplier have a QVPN clone / equivalent for Linux that will work with the WRVS4400N?
Thanks!

Thanks for the reply, but I'd rather not purchase a VPN client when linux has a number of opensource cllients available. What I am lacking is any documentation or guidance from Cisco regarding how to configure a linux client. Are you familiar with the linux network manager applet? see: http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager/ It supports the following VPN types:
Cisco Anyconnect Compatible VPN (openconnect) ~ compatible with Cisco Anyconnect SSL VPN
Cisco Compatible VPN (vpnc) ~ compatible with various Cisco, Juniper, Netscreen, and Sonicwall IPSec-based VPN Gateways
IPSec/IKEv2 (strongswan) ~ IPsec with IKEv2 key exchange protocol
OpenVPN ~ Compatible with the OpenVPN server
Point-to-Point Tunnelling Protocol (PPTP) ~ Compatible with Microsoft and other PPTP VPN Servers
In reviewing these various client types, I am not sure which one to use, where to install the client certificate, etc. Some of these client methods require a specific flavor of 3DES, authentication, and other protocol/parameter settings. Excuse the rant, but Cisco is clearly remiss in not providing clients for all popular OS's, or at a minimum for not providing documentation that would enable the WRVS4400N VPN functions to be used with clients other than QVPN and OS's other than Windows.
In Windows, QVPN requres a username, password, server address, port, and installing the client certificate .PEM in the appropriate directory, disabling block WAN request in the router, etc. ~ but all of the protocols and configuration details that are being used are undocumented making it difficult to impossible properly use or configure a client other than QVPN.
Has anyone at Cisco (or a participant in this forum) used a Linux client to connect to the WRVS4400N? If so, how should it be configured?
Thanks

Deep Freeze for iPad?

I work at a children's hospital and we are looking for an iPad solution similar to Deep Freeze for PCs. We have used mobile PCs on clumsy carts with Deep Freeze on them so that personal data would be easily wiped. We are looking for something similar so we can replace the old Windows XP computers with iPads. The iPads we currently use have to be collected after each use, formatted, and restored from an image. This process is tedious and time-consuming.

Hello, much like iToaster replied, Apple Configurator could possibly be a solution for you to manage your devices. You do need to use either an iMac, MacBook Pro or other Mac machine to run it off of, but from your original post this shouldn't be an issue for you.
Using Apple Configurator you can actually create profiles, what Apple calls a group of settings. From here you can create restrictions and manage apps, lock down or unlock devices.
Configurator also allows for App management, which has been buggy in the past as well as binding devices to user AD accounts. If you are using a cart model it also simplifies restoring from a backup.
EDIT - if you are concerned about personal data not being wiped off of the device, Configurator also allows you to do mass "imaging" on these devices as opposed to having to do one by one through iTunes.

Oracle license for Linux (It's free?)

Hi,
I had PostGresql database installed on my Linux machine. And have MS Access database from Windows 98 connect to the PostGresql database. For some reason it is too slow. So I decided to try Oracle for Linux, and I heard peoples told me that Oracle for Linux is free. I had used Oracle in windows environment, and It's very fast. So probably oracle on linux machine and have MS Access connect to it using ODBC should be fast too.
My point is Oracle for Linux is free? and for how long, and for how many concurrent users? To install it, should I download it from the Oracle web site, or should I install it from a CD-ROM?
Thanks,
Sany

by my understanding, Oracle for linux is free for development purpose only. you can use it as long as you are using it only for development. howver, you have to buy proper licenses if you want to deploy it in a production env.
Oracle 8i is several hundreds Meg in size. depending on your internet connection, you may want to request a free CD.

Whether the Oracle 8i for linux is free for business purpose?

if we implement an application with Oracle 8i for linux.And the we will sell the application. whether we must pay the Oracle 8i for linux?

I think the oracle so called their datebase can't use to profit include two perspect:
First, you can't use oracle for linux in bussiness directly.Such as a compnay use oracle on linux as his database platform.
second, you can't use oracle for linux as development platform or run platform and you product used for bussiness perpose.
The above two item certainly uner unauthorized conditions. If you get authorized oracle on linux,you can use it as you want.

Oracle8i for Linux Release announcement

I received a copy of this Oracle marketing announcement today:
The Linux tidal wave continues and Oracle is right at the
forefront. We have
been experiencing tremendous demand on Linux since Oracle8 was
announced for
that platform last October. Over 50,000 developers have
downloaded Oracle8
for Linux from Oracle Technology Network (OTN) since March, with
the first
20,000 coming in just the first 10 days! We now have over 800
paying
customers with over half the orders coming from enterprise
accounts and most
of the remainder orders from mid-sized businesses.
This week Oracle is announcing the shipping of Oracle8i for
Linux. Already,
20,000 developers have registered for early access. With new
internet
technologies like Java and XML built right into Oracle8i for
Linux, this
release promises to be the hottest yet.
Read on for more information about:
- What are we announcing?
- What are the key messages?
- What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
- Why does Oracle care about Linux?
- Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
- Which products are available on Linux?
- Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort and what are we
doing?
- Where to find more information about Oracle on Linux?
What are we announcing?
Oracle is announcing today that it has been receiving extremely
strong demand
for its Linux based products over the past quarter and is also
shipping
Oracle8i for Linux to manufacturing.
What are the key messages?
Linux represents the ultimate commodity operating system -- its
fast, reliable
and almost free! Businesses can now spend their time focusing on
the higher
value software they buy to run their businesses (such as
databases and applications).
With over 800 customers paying for Oracle on Linux, Linux is
progressing from
its roots as a student and developer operating system to a viable
deployment
environment in large business.
Oracle has the best database on Linux. With over 50,000 people
using Oracle8
and over 20,000 people registered through Oracle Technology
Network (OTN) for
Oracle8i, Oracle is the overwhelming choice for the Linux
operating system.
What is the pricing for Oracle8i on Linux?
Pricing of Oracle8i on Linux follows the standard Oracle price
list (see
http://appsweb.us.oracle.com/amapp/). Linux may be a freeware
operating
system, but Oracle on Linux is not free. Oracle does offer
developer licenses
through Oracle Technology Network (OTN) which allows developers
to use Oracle
software for non-commercial use.
Why does Oracle care about Linux?
Linux is hot! It is rapidly becoming the preferred platform for
small ISP's
and is used extensively by many of the internet's largest portal
sites. For
Oracle, Linux is the fastest growing operating system, growing at
three times
that of WindowsNT. Oracle on Linux presents customers a viable
low-cost, yet
highly stable alternative to WindowsNT. That said, with 46% of
the NT market,
Oracle is also the best selling database on NT!
Oracle now has over 800 customers on Linux. This statistic alone
strongly
contradicts the common perception that Linux is solely used by
students and
developers. Linux has already established a foothold in many
Fortune 100
companies and although deployments are still currently small
compared to NT
and Solaris, they are accelerating rapidly.
Which products are available on Linux?
Currently available on Linux are:
- Oracle8.0.5 Standard and Enterprise Edition
- Oracle8i Release 8.1.5
- Oracle Application Server 4.0.7 (40 Bit)
- Oracle Application Server 3.0.2 (40 Bit)
- Oracle WebDB 2.0.5.6.1
Who are Oracle's major Linux Partners?
Redhat Software - Linux distributors. Oracle has also made an
equity
investment in RedHat. (http://www.redhat.com)
Caldera System - Linux distributors. Novell spin-off, focus
primarily on
enterprise customers. (http://www.caldera.com)
Turbolinux - Linux distributor. Has a mostly Asia presence.
(http://www.turbolinux.com)
VA Linux Systems - Hardware vendor, making Linux systems.
(http://www.linux.com)
Linuxcare - Linux support provider. (http://www.linuxcare.com)
Who is driving the Oracle on Linux effort?
There are two teams within Oracle working closely to drive the
Oracle strategy
and goals on Linux: Internet Platform Marketing and the Linux SBU
(Strategic
Business Unit).

ORACLE CAPITALIZES ON ENTERPRISE DEMAND FOR LINUX OFFERINGS WITH
ANNOUNCEMENT
OF ORACLE8i ON LINUX
Early Adopters Programs Draws Nearly 20,000 Developers
REDWOOD SHORES, Calif., July 19, 1999--Oracle Corporation, the
number one
choice for e-business, today announced dramatic growth and demand
for Oracle
on Linux with strong adoption in both enterprise and general
business markets.
Oracle also announced the general availability of Oracle8i on
Linux, after a
successful early adopter's program.
Since Oracle Corp. announced Oracle8 on Linux, there have been
over 50,000
downloads from Oracle Technology Network
(http://technet.oracle.com/ ). Now,
after the announcement of Oracle8i, there have been nearly 20,000
registrants
for early access in the first few weeks. Outside the development
community,
Oracle has also seen overwhelming customer adoption with an
excess of 800
paying customers today -- over half of these orders from
enterprise accounts
and the remainder from small to mid-sized businesses and
organizations.
"Until the availability of Oracle database on Linux, we either
had to rely on
NT or use one of the shareware database servers available for
Linux," says
Jonathan August, President and CEO of Internection, Inc., a
company providing
customized Internet services solutions to businesses, including
web hosting
and e-commerce solutions. "Neither solution provided us the
security,
performance, manageability or reliability required by our
customers. Oracle
brings enterprise credibility and robustness to our products. As
a result,
we've gained access to customers ranging from small businesses to
Fortune 100
enterprises like Prudential and Pfizer. Our total revenue since
the addition
of Oracle on Linux has increased by 250%."
"Oracle on Linux combines enterprise level reliability,
scalability and
performance with a free, robust and well-supported operating
system," says
Nick Marden, technical director of e-commerce, Xoom.com, and
e-commerce
service provider. "It enables Xoom.com to better understand our
members'
needs and respond to them quickly. Oracle on Linux represents an
extraordinary value and it gets the job done."
"Oracle is committed to bringing superior technology to the Linux
community,"
says Chuck Rozwat, senior vice president of Server Technologies
at Oracle.
"Oracle8i on Linux comes with both Java and XML built right in.
Together they
offer the most cost-effective way to deploy scalable Internet
applications."
Oracle8i is the first and only database specifically designed for
the
Internet. Oracle8i extends Oracle's long-standing technology
leadership in
the areas of data management, transaction processing and data
warehousing to
the new medium of the Internet. Oracle8i is the centerpiece of

revenues of more than $8.8 billion, the company offers its
database,
application server, tools and application products, along with
related
consulting, education and support services, in more than 145
countries around
the world.

Yeah, I got a couple of those....but if you go to Oracle, there
is nothing about it, and nothing new on the OTN download...
We can hope...

Is there really a Cisco VPN client for Linux? _Really?_

Hello folks,
        I've finally after almost experiencing a brain aneurysm by trying to think too hard got my Cisco 881-SEC-K9 router properly configured for a multipoint IPSec VPN tunnel to my Amazon Virtual Private Cloud, so that hurdle is finally passed and I actually feel it was a very important milestone in my life somehow. I never thought I'd see the day I actually got my hands on a legitimate Cisco non-stink... erm.. I mean, non-linksys router. Now I just can't seem to find a 'client' VPN program for Linux. I'm currently running a Xen Hypervisor environment on openSUSE Linux because it's the only Linux distribution that completes all of my strenous requirements in a Linux server environment. It's also the most mature, and secure Linux on this planet, making it the most appreciable Linux distribution for my research needs. Using NetworkManager is not really an option for a basic Linux server environment, and OpenVPN is just too confusing to comprehend for my tiny little head. I've heard mention of some mysterious "Easy VPN" but after hours of digging online can't find any information about it, even the Cisco download link leads to a Page Not Found error. I do see a Linux VPN API for the AnyConnect program, but is that an actual VPN client, or just an API? It seems to want my money to download it but I don't have any money nor do I really know what it is because it's all secretive-like, closed source, and I can't even find a simple README file on it explaining what it is exactly. I'm just an out-of-work software developer trying to connect to my home router for personal use and I can't really afford to fork over a million and a half dollars for a single program that I'm only going to need to download once in my lifetime that should have been included with the router in the first place. I more than likely won't even be able to figure out how to use the program anyways because I don't know anything about VPN connections which is why I bought this router so I can try to figure it all out as part of the not-for-profit open source, volunteer research I'm presently trying to conduct. Is there some kind of evaluation or trial period for personal use? That would be really nice so I could at least figure out if I'm going to be able to figure it out or not. I hate throwing money away when it's in such short supply these days. There's really no alternative to a Cisco router. It's an absolute necessity for the things I'm trying to accomplish, so trying to settle for something else and going on with my life is not really an option. No, this is something I just need to face head on and get it over with.
<Rant>
       Maybe I have a little too much crazy in me for my own good, but I don't see why it should take so much money just to learn how to do something for personal reference, it's not really a skill I would ever use otherwise. Wouldn't it be great if Cisco made their VPN client open source and free to the public to use and modify, to improve on, to learn and to grow and bring the whole world closer together as a community? Even the source code to the old discontinued Cisco VPN client could be used as a valuable learning tool for some poor starving college student or Open Source Software developer somewhere trying to get by on Ramen Noodles and Ramen Noodle Sauce on Toast (don't tell me you never thought about it). Through the ripple effect, It would drastically improve sales over the course of time, because it would open the door to a whole new market where those who previously could not afford to participate now could. That's the true power of Open Source. It creates a more skilled work force for the future by openly contributing and sharing knowledge together. What if the next big internet technology and the solution to world tyranny - the solution to end all wars forever - were locked in the mind of an unemployed software developer who couldn't afford to upgrade their cisco router software or access the software they needed because it was closed source and required committing to an expensive service contract to download? That would be just terrible, wouldn't it? I guess there's no way to ever know for sure. I suppose I'd be just as happy if some kind soul out there could point me to an easy to use alternative to an always on VPN connection that runs in the background which doesn't require NetworkManager or having to spend days upon days digging through and trying to comprehend either some really poor or extremely complex documentation? I apologize for all the run on sentences posed as questions, but I've just got some serious mental burnout from all of this, being unemployed is some hard work folks. I could really use a vacation. Perhaps a camping trip to the coast is in order after I get this working, that sounds nice, doesn't it? Nothing like a good summer thunder storm on the ocean beach - far away from technology - to refresh the mind.
</Rant>

I do tend to talk too much and I don't mince any words either. What I am however, is really appreciative for the help. I know you hear that all the time, but you have no idea how much time and headache you just saved me. I think vpnc might be just what I've been looking for, unless someone can think of a client for Linux that I might be able to throw a little further. I'm very security minded now, after the backlash of Blackhat 2013, there's no telling which direction the internet might head next. Oh, you didn't hear? Well wether they realize it or not, DARPA basically declared war with other government agencies by releasing their own version of a spy program for civilians to use against the whoever -- possibly even the governmnet itself. They even went so far as to suggest it's private usage to blanket entire cities in information gathering. Civilians are a powerful foe, as they are not bound by the oath of office, any evidence they obtain is admissible in court, wether they know that or not. There's a very important reason for that. It's to prevent another civil war from ever happening, we shed enough blood the first time around less people forgot. It's something that can and will be avoided because our civilization has advanced beyond the need for bloodshed. The courts have to obey the majority rule, no matter what. For the first time in history, cyberwarfare can reach into the physical world to cause serious damage to physical structures like the nuclear facility incident in Iran. There's scarry bills trying to sneak through congress that are changing the landscape of technology forever for the entire world. We're at a pivotal point now where things can happen. It will be interesting to see how it all plays out over the next decade or so. No matter which way you look at it, just be preparerd to sell a whole lot of routers.

still free to be download?

Help! Errors in installing Oracle 8.0.5 for Linux on RedHat

Hi, everyone:
Oracle free installation support group points me here. They
said: "Unfortunately, the trial release of Oracle8 for Linux is
not supported by this group. You can obtain peer support on the
Oracle8 for Linux trialproduct from the discussion group on the
Oracle Technology Network (OTN)(http://technet.oracle.com). "
Thanks in advacnce.

John -
You are missing some required Linux files. When you install
Linux, pick the 'everything' option, then weed out the obvious
things you don't want (like the Serbian How-To's, etc.)
I say this because I ran into the exact same thing this past
weekend after picking and choosing which packages to install for
Linux. After re-installing with the 'everything' option, the
Oracle install went swimmingly. I wish I could tell you which
package in particular you are missing, but I never figured that
out.

Why Apple does not offer support for linux?

We all know the history of Apple. It clearly shows a trend to be open source, excepting for the licenses they share with Microsoft. In my personal case, I love open source because it has solved several of my problems. Just to share this with everyone, I am the network manager of a educational institution and I used to have my servers running on windows platform. Since we used to buy it all from Microsoft, they would give us free software for or labs, software like Visual Studio. They even assigned us engineers to plan everything for our servers, free of cost. Guess what? It was a disaster. We had our database destroyed by an external attack. We were “lucky” to have Microsoft in our servers and in our firewalls.
We had to take action, so I decided to switch to Debian, and to use IPCOP (a great dedicated firewall, if there is anyone interested, the link is: http://ipcop.org/ , please note, I am NOT affiliated with them, and I will receive no compensation or benefit if you chose to access it or not ). Both open source. The result, no external attack has been able to pass trough. After that, we switched most* of our e-learning platforms to open source, and guess what? We are saving over 60,000 yearly just in software. So for those who are looking for a good way to get good security without loosing an eye, try open source.
Now back to the point, I do not fully support any operative system. They all have their good features, or at least they should. The ones I know, are because I use them. My home network is composed by computers running in five different versions of Linux, two running in Mac OS X Tiger, and some others running in XP pro. My main computer is running in Ubuntu, and is really sad to see that there is no software from apple available for Linux. That is honestly the worst part of Linux, having no iTunes or QuickTime available. No way to see multimedia in the web, etc. A suggestion for apple would be, give support for Linux, there are a lot of us wanting the same.

Apple makes software and hardware. Therefore they
offer a total solution. Now they even can have
windows xp running on their hardware. Making a
version of mac os to run on linix isn't practically.
Under a mac is unix and you can run unix software
with the mac so you could do ever thing you are
doing with a mac.
I did not know Linux was one type of computer, like Mac...
Next topic, If I was willing to pay for it, this thread would not exist, because I can actually use a commercial software to adapt the windows web plug ins to Linux... If I was in charge of Apple, I would propose to develop free software support of my products, - plug ins and so - to other operative systems... But of course, even if I did, it would not be up to me. It would have to pass trough several layers of bureaucracy, and it would take a lot of time to be approved or rejected.
Anyway, the main issue is, the three most important OS's are Windows, Linux, and Mac. And that can't be denied. Now you can even run Windows in a Mac PC, and vice versa... besides being fancy, what else could I do with a Mac PC using Windows, when I can build a machine able to run Windows for less than 300 bucks? OK if you want to try a Mac in a i386 or a x86... but I still rather to be the proud owner of a PowerMac G5 than the owner of a Pentium 4 / AMD using Mac OS.
Also, I thought it would be fun to see the reactions and opinions of other people with this topic, hence, I was not expecting anyone from Mac to read it, and really do something about it, because I know they won't.

A reasonable hardware configuration for Linux OAS

Has anyone out there tried to run
Oracle 8 for Linux and OAS 3.02
all on the same toasted PC/pentium server?
Could you tell me the nature of your
hardware configuration (processor speed, ram, etc)
if you feel the performance is acceptable for
development (not for actual business operation).
The technical FAQ lists 48 megs and any
Pentium to run Oracle 8 for Linux which
verges on ridiculously low.
I just want to know a reasonable
configuration to run both Oracle 8 and OAS .
Thanks,
Heji

I have been runnig OAS/O8 on a Pii/300Mhz system with 128mb of
ram, and so far I have no real complaints on speed. I even tuned
the SGA to give a little better performance and still have around
40 or so MB free. BTW, I haven't really tried to mess around
with the Linux version of OAS, but have used the Solaris version
previously, have you noticed any problems with the wrb starting
up? I have seen some error messages saying "No processes..." or
something, looks like an error.. have you experienced this?

Infinality-bundle-fonts: a free multilingual font collection for Arch

infinality-bundle-fonts: a free multilingual font collection for Arch Linux
infinality-bundle-fonts is meant to be a complete, 'install-and-forget' solution for most (Arch) Linux users looking for easy access to common type-faces diversity needed to create and reproduce (hyper)text documents. It consists of freely available, hand-picked fonts providing correct, uniform and high quality rendering of multilingual content.
Obligatory teaser
click
Installation instructions
See Infinality-bundle+fonts.
Technical information and user notes
Popular proprietary fonts substitutions
See /etc/fonts/conf.avail.infinality/free/37-repl-global-free.conf.
Default sans-serif, serif, monospace, fantasy, cursive
See /etc/fonts/conf.avail.infinality/free/60-latin-free.conf.
Languages covered and special cases
Wikipedia was used as a reference when testing Latin and non-Latin linguistic scenarios and I believe that the majority of users should be satisfied with the results (the completeness, rendering quality, readability, clarity, coherence… you name it).
If in doubt, you can easily check which font family is used to display a particular script:
[~] $ fc-match :lang=ja
sawarabi-gothic-medium.ttf: "Sawarabi Gothic" "Medium"
Before you install a third-party font package, first check if it is already present in the infinality-bundle-fonts repository.
The default sans family is Noto Sans. However, in order to preserve the correct layout of certain web documents, Liberation Sans will remain the replacement for Arial. The width difference between the two could be problematic for certain websites prioritizing Arial/Helvetica over 'anything sans' (rather than 'anything serif'). Websites intentionally designed to use any sans font will select Noto Sans by default.
There is an extensive choice of available serif type-faces: the default is Heuristica, others include Crimson Text, Merriweather, TeX Gyre Termes, Gentium family, and more.
A few popular font packages available in the Arch Linux official repositories were re-packed in order to avoid rendering issues.
A few packages available in the AUR were re-packed for compatibility reasons.
You will be notified if a package you already have in your system should be replaced with a corresponding one from the infinality-bundle-fonts repository. If this is the case, just hit 'Y' to accept and install the new one.
Additional font files can be found in infinality-bundle-fonts-extra group. Some may be handy extensions for particular scripts (like 'ttf-dejavusans-yunati-*-ibx'), others are strictly optional and task specific. The 'extra' group is expected to offer those few quality bits that users most often need to use but that do not belong to the main set. Suggestions are welcome. Note: 'extra' is not a place for 10 mono / sans / decorative type-faces, etc. This is technically impossible due to server bandwidth limits and practically against the usability principle that a well organized general purpose font collection should offer.
Licensing
The files available in the infinality-bundle-fonts repository are freely available for download, redistribution, personal and/or commercial use. 95% of the fonts are licensed under the GPL, Apache or OFL license. The remaining 5% can still be freely distributed and used under certain conditions specified by the author and/or the foundry. Please, consult a particular license for details if a proper license matters to you.

Oracle 10g R 10.2 for Linux x86-64 - /proc/sys/vm/disable_cap_mlock problem

Hi All,
During installation - Oracle Database Configuration Assistance, I have got below error and thus I stuck. As per Metalink note 293988.1, this will be resolved if I do [root@localhos]# echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/disable_cap_mlock . But problem is when I do this because I dont have /proc/sys/vm/disable_cap_mlock file in my system, it giving ¨bash: /proc/sys/vm/disable_cap_mlock: No such file or directory¨ error. So I am unable to get rid of this error. I also set SELinux Default and Current mode as permissible and rebooted it.
No use, Its giving same error.
ORA-27125: Unable to create shared memory segment.

From what I can gather form your post, the ORA-27125: Unable to create shared memory segment is probably the result of:
a) not enough physical memory available.
b) /dev/shm not configured properly.
c) kernel parameters are not set according to Oracle requirements.
Since this is happening during the installation of Oracle I suggest to check the SHMMAX kernel parameter. This is all mentioned in the pre-installation steps. Oracle 11g will actually check these kernel parameters prior to installing. Not sure about 10g now, which you are trying to install.
The most common, easiest way to prepare the system for Oracle RDBMS is to install the "oracle-validated" package. If you don't have access to ULN, you can setup public yum.
http://public-yum.oracle.com/ Then you can simply type as the root user: yum install oracle-validated

Trust me I verified installtion guide and release notes atleast 20 times. I never had luck witht any thing. I was wondering how come edelivery.oracle.com packages (both Linux 64 bit Linux with upgrade to Unbreakable and Oracle 10g db version) is not workign for me. Finally below trick to the installed file could make my installation work(Ref link http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/OracleDB10gInstallationOnFedora2.php) . In this I am setting DISABLE_HUGETLBFS to value 1. My only doubt is, does this have any impact on performance? Can some one relay on such tweeking for prod installtions? Ofcourse I am yet to go for commercial. At present I dont have ULN or metalink authorised access.
cd $ORACLE_HOME/bin
mv oracle oracle.bin
cat >oracle <<"EOF"
#!/bin/bash
export DISABLE_HUGETLBFS=1
exec $ORACLE_HOME/bin/oracle.bin $@
EOF
chmod +x oracle
