Installation from scratch

Hi Guys,
I am following this: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/install.112/e16767/toc.htm#i1011296
it says after df -h then chose your mount_point and then do this:
# mkdir -p /mount_point/app/
# chown -R oracle:oinstall /mount_point/app/
# chmod -R 775 /mount_point/app/
For example:
# mkdir -p /u01/app/
# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/
# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/
my mount points are as below:
[root@localhost scripts]# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00
107G 2.1G 99G 3% /
/dev/sda1 99M 12M 83M 13% /boot
tmpfs 1009M 0 1009M 0% /dev/shm
[root@localhost scripts]#
can somebody please let me know how I should proceed based on OFA ? thanks!

Hi;
107G 2.1G 99G 3% /You already mention as below how you can create mount point for your installation
# mkdir -p /u01/app/
# chown -R oracle:oinstall /u01/app/
# chmod -R 775 /u01/app/so follow same steps and you will have /u01/app under your / (root path)

  • How is I/O assistant installed correctly with a Labview 7.1 installation from scratch?

    I had Labview 6.0 installed. I bought the upgrade to 7.1. From running into some problems NI tech support recommended removing 6.0 and installing 7.1 from scratch which I did and now all but one thing is ok. When I initialize the instrument I/O assistant I get a message stating that the assistant is not installed correctly and should be installed prior to 7.0. Then it says to reinstall the assistant from the device drivers cd which I have done as well as from the installation cd. I am still getting the error when starting the assistant. Anybody have any clues???

    There is a bug in the Instrument I/O Assistant installer that is on the LabVIEW 7.1 Driver CD, where the I/O Assistant installer will not update the LabVIEW 7.1 support files necessary for it to work with LabVIEW 7.1.
    Normally, if you installed the I/O Assistant off of the Driver CD first, and then LabVIEW 7.1, you could re-install the I/O Assistant off of the Driver CD to get your 7.1 support.
    Because of the installer bug, you need to uninstall the I/O Assistant, and then install it again. You can uninstall the I/O Assistant by running the Driver CD and deselecting the option from the tree, or by going to add remove programs and removing it from there.
    Sorry for the inconvenience. If you still have problems getting it to work, let me know and
    I should be able to help you out. This bug is fixed in more recent editions of the NI Device Driver CD.

  • Step by Step PeopleSoft HRMS Installation from scratch.

    Hi there,
    I am a very newbie for all the Oracle products. Haven't used any oracle products ever. I need to create a POC of integrating PeopleSoft with Microsoft Technology.
    I have Windows Server 2008R2 x64 with MS SQL Server 2008R2. The Microsoft technology which would work with lastest Peoplesoft version is 9.0
    I have the edelivery account created from where I can download the software's. I need to know the what softwares and order of installing all the softwares in order to get a just basic demo Peoplesoft HRMS system ready.
    The edelivery has documentation but i found them pretty tedious for a non Oracle guy. Is there any place i can get simple steps and also if someone can tell me the order of installation here that would be great too. I need just basic Peoplesoft HRMS 9.0 env on Win 2008R2.
    Any help is much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Vishal

    Except the database software, you'll need to go to the part number B35825-46 (PeopleSoft Human Resources Management System and Campus Solutions 9.0 Media Pack) where you can find eveything needed for download :
    1. PeopleSoft Enterprise Human Resources Management System and Campus Solutions 9.0: Feature Pack - March 2011 => V24852-01
    2. PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.52 Disc 1 of 3 => V27724-01
    3. PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.52 Disc 2 of 3 => V27725-01
    4. PeopleSoft PeopleTools 8.52 Disc 3 of 3 => V27726-01
    5. Tuxedo 10gR3 for MS Windows Server 2008 w/MS VS 2008 x86 32-bit => V20090-01
    6. Oracle WebLogic Server 11gR1 (10.3.4) Generic and Coherence => V24338-01
    7. JRockit JDK R28.1 for Java SE 6 with JRockit Mission Control 4.0.1 for Microsoft Windows (64-bit x86) => V23714-01
    I don't think the others components are needed in your case for a POC. And of course, the very first step is a reading of the Peopletools Installation Guide where every step is described : http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E26530_01/psft/html/docset.html (take the one according to the database software you are planning to build your Peoplesoft environment on).
    Moreover, you can read my previous blog entries on PS installations (sorry, it is for Oracle db, but hopefully you'll get the idea) :
    http://gasparotto.blogspot.com/p/installation.html
    An good way to get an environment for POC is of course the use of Peoplesoft OVM Template, where eveything is already ready to use, but that's based on Oracle VM, Linux and Oracle database (at least you don't have to bother with any Peoplesoft/database/tuxedo/web installation). Find out more : http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/peoplesoft-089548.html
    By the way, why 9.0 whereas 9.1 is available for quite a while ?

  • Airport - How Do I Start Installation From Scratch?

    Here's the deal: After the most recent firmware update to airport extreme, it is totally hosed. I reset the airport but it isn't "broadcasting" so my computer doesn't see it even though it's only 2 feet away. Nothing works. If I reset the airport, go through the multitude of configuration menus, and finally get the airport to broadcast (indicator on top information bar full and in bold), after clicking on the update button after reconfiguring, the airport stops broadcasting and the process fails. So, I want to wipe the whole configuration out like I never installed it before - both on the computer and in the airport - and start all over again to hopefully get it working. Honestly, these firmware updates are not very intuitive and I'm to the point that if I ever get this thing working, I'm never going to update it ever again! Thanks in advance.
    Karl

    Thanks for the reply, Smokerz. If I understand your post, I should disconnect the Airport from the Ethernet, plug the Ethernet directly into the laptop and re-configure my network for the Airport? It's funny because I did that this morning before I read your post and I then couldn't access the Internet while being plugged directly into my DSL box. I had to reconfigure my network settings first. With network settings properly applied, should I be able to access the Internet either way - through the Airport or through a direct Ethernet connection to the laptop - or is it a one or the other scenario?
    Thanks,
    Karl

  • How to install Oracle RAC using 11gR2 on Win 7 32 bit from scratch?

    Hiii,
    I am a fresher and I have a win 7 system 32 bit with oracle 11gR2.
    I want to install RAC using two or more servers but I dont know too much about it.
    I tried to search on google but all they are giving information in pieces(for win 7) or about Linux(Please tell me why its all Linux everywhere not windows).
    Please let me know if there any site where I can find step by step installation from scratch.
    What are basic requirements(/software if needed).
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    First of all forget about Windows!! Oracle is mainly designed for Linux systems. Oracle runs as real multi-process on Linux machines whereas on Windows it runs as a single process with multi-thread.
    Memory usage - huge pages,single CPU run queue, dnfs, storage systems... etc. lots of concepts exists.
    Besides Windows is one of the most poorly designed operating systems, you should use it only to watch cute kitten movies on youtube... Believe me, you wouldn't want to learn Oracle on Windows...
    So, install virtualbox and then setup Oracle Enterprise Linux on it as a first step... By the way you have to deal with DNS server for release 11.X, RAC, you may start with 10g for now.
    ORACLE-BASE has all the installation steps explained detailly, search for "oracle base rac install" on google.
    I also explained on my blog, but it is a little bit advanced installation using ZFS storage simulator. DNS server installation is also explained:  http://ilkertaysi.com/2013/11/11/oracle-rac-installation-with-zfs-storage/

  • Keep getting the latest Firefox (3.6.6) update installation request. Each time I follow instructions exactly but I keep getting the same Firefox dialog box asking for 3.6.6 to be installed - from scratch. 6 times already...tiring...what's happening?

    A dialog from Firefox keeps popping up on my screening requesting that I update to 3.6.6...which I've done at least 6 starts ( yes, I restart Firefox)...
    Doesn't seem to stick...just got another dialog window requesting me to update...it's tiring...what's happening?
    == This happened ==
    A few times a week
    == over a week or 2 ago and several times since including today, Sat., July 17.

    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)
    After closing Firefox, Remove the files in the ''updates'' and ''updates\0'' folder:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\
    C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\
    (Replacing '''<user>''' with your Vista user name.)
    If that doesn't work, try downloading the Firefox installer from http://www.getfirefox.com and running it,

  • C#: Building a SOFTWARE SOLUTION from scratch to finish

    Hello good people of MSDN. I have a VERY SIMPLE REQUEST... (Here goes)
    I'm trying to build an Application (from scratch, custom specs) that allows the user to manage, organize and keep track of books that are available in a library. This system is to be made use of in environments such as personal library, public library, any
    situation that requires/involves the constant movement of BOOKS.
    Now, I have presented a solution to the client which works OKAY but there has been a SUDDEN CHANGE of heart, now the client wants the solution to be implemented quite differently. The solution that I BUILT is basically an ASP.NET C# Application that runs LOCALLY
    so it opens up in the browser (IIS installed and all that) for the user to make use of the Application. Now when I want to have the entire Application to FUNCTION on another system I simply copy the Database, the Application folder (that has all the files
    in it) place it in the IIS Directory... ... (So as not to waste your PRECIOUS TIME). To access the Application we simply open up the BROWSER enter localhost/the Application's URL...
    The client, first of all does NOT want the BROWSER in the mix of things (ANYMORE !!!); secondly, does not want to have to go through all of this process of COPYING FILES INTO LOCATIONS, IIS etc etc in order to get the solution to WORK/OPERATE on another/several
    other computers. The client wants to be able to have an EXECUTABLE INSTALLATION file that when clicked installs a SOFTWARE APPLICATION that opens up in its own WINDOW ENVIRONMENT without the help/assistance of the BROWSER !
    This is my PREDICAMENT there's NO TIME... I need to AT LEAST present a working prototype in less than 24hrs!
    So my questions are:
    1.) Is there anyway for me to convert my ASP.NET C# Web Application into an installable client software without losing any of the components that make it work?
    2.) If I have to build the ENTIRE Application into a WinForms PROJECT (I'm using VS 2010) can I STILL MAKE USE of the DATABASE I used for the ASP.NET C# Application?
    3.) I don't want to have to DUMP my SQL SERVER DATABASE (as it is) to start creating a DB using something else like MS Access. Do I have a choice?
    I have included with this post a Notepad doc that details the sketch of what I am HOPING to ACHIEVE. I would Appreciate it if anyone can (KINDLY) take it up and create according to the SPECIFICATIONS included in the doc. I have tried to be very DETAILED and
    DESCRIPTIVE in the doc to make it easy for  the DEVELOPER to FOLLOW THROUGH. Can it be done?
    (If ANYONE can take it up and provide the solution it would be a good thing because it would ALWAYS be available to other DEVELOPERS who can read through the CODE and become better C# PROGRAMMERS and better at using Visual Studio. As this is a VERY REAL
    LIFE SCENARIO coders can LEARN from the SITUATION).
    At the end of the whole CODING PROCESS I intend to BUILD the Source to become a SINGLE EXECUTABLE FILE that will INSTALL the Application on the clients system. If anyone can PROFFER (and MAYBE RENDER) a SOLUTION that's ACCURATE, SPEEDY, RELIABLE to me, I would
    be grateful!
    The Software is to be used in a school. Students are only going to REQUEST for books, RETURN the books that they collected. They are NOT BUYING books!
    Working/Functional Prototype
    (The PROTOTYPE I hope to present REALLY SOON should be CAPABLE of the FOLLOWING)
    1. Navigate/Move through the different Forms/GUI Screens when the appropriate buttons are clicked
    2. Interact with the DB (to some extent) and carry out (for now)TRANSACTIONS like adding books, viewing list of books, delete book, Register Student (other DB operations can be included much later)
    3. When the Application is LAUNCHED a Splash Screen is displayed introducing the Application (while the Application is loading), then when it's done Loading, the Application opens to present the Start Screen
    4. An EXECUTABLE INSTALLATION FILE that can be used to conveniently INSTALL the Application on multiple systems... Just in-case it is to be installed on a computer system that's not Windows OS, I'd like for it to carter to dependencies appropriately.
    PLEASE ANYONE that chooses to ASSIST (based on the SPECIFICATIONS) should KINDLY include the DETAILS of how the result was ACHIEVED so at least I can read through and understand the Application and conveniently make suitable/any necessary modifications (should
    the CLIENT require that I do so). eg Step by step instructions on how to get the whole SOURCE CODE into INSTALLATION FILE, Setting up the Splash Screen, how the DB is made to connect to the front end GUI (eg ODBC, OLE DB that type of stuff)... etc etc
    I'm trying to keep the prototype VERY SIMPLE so I can ACHIEVE something TANGIBLE in this short space of time then LATER any SOPHISTICATION can be included.
    PS: I have done MY VERY BEST to plan out the Application Logic. So it should be easy to just READ over the Notepad docs I'm including here... As a pointer (should YOU decide to ASSIST) it would be FASTER to START with the WinForms, then MOVE to CREATING
    the DB, afterwards LINK THEM...
    Thank YOU ALL.

    ISBN = The Standard Book Number of the book
    CategoryName = EG Computer Science, Applied Robotics
    BELOW IS WINFORMS PLAN: FRONT END
    There are just gonna be 5 GUI Components (FOR NOW). The ENTIRE APPLICATION WINDOWS should be in the range 700px by 700px (width by height).
    Forms/GUI Instances
    1. Start/Welcome Screen
    2. List of books
    3. Administration
    4. Relase Notes
    5. Splash screen
    Start/Welcome Screen
    When the Software Application is launched and the Software is done loading this is the FIRST screen that the user sees. This Screen presents the users with options to carry out certain actions. Also it presents some brief/summary information to the user in
    a presentable manner.
    Options include: Administration, View list of books, Relase Notes
    Brief/Summary of information include: Total no of books in store, Total no of new books added
    List of books Screen
    When the user clicks on this action link from any where in the Software Application this page comes up. It displays a complete list of the books that are available in the store and also relevant info about the books. It reads DIRECTLY from the Books table inside
    the Database and presents the info in a tabular format. It also provides the user with certain options to carry out some actions.
    Options include: Request book (button beside every book item)
    Administration Screen
    The Administration Screen is segmented into several Areas that allow the operator to carry out individual/independent tasks. On this Screen the operator of the system has options to carry out many vital tasks as regards the Application. Rather than having to
    present many different Screens, all the control/Administrative tasks of this Aplication are included here on this ONE Screen.
    Options/Segments include: Add book(s), Delete book(s), View list of books, View books requests, View books returned, View all Students, Request for book(s), Register Student, Return books
    (All of these Options can be done/carried out on this one screen without having to bring many different screens to do the different tasks)
    >>Add book(s) Area
    This area FEEDS info DIRECTLY INTO the Books DB. To accept Data input into the Application this has following text boxes: Book Title, Author, Edition, ISBN, Category Name
    >>Delete book(s) Area
    Presents the options for deleting a book. It also relates DIRECTLY with the Books table in the DB. It presents the list of books as they are available in the Books DB and places a DELETE action button for EVERY book so that when this button is clicked it removes
    the book from the Books DB.
    >>View list of books
    This will simply bring up the list of books Screen since already we have a screen for this.
    >>View books requests
    This reads DIRECTLY from the UsersRequest table and just presents the info to the user in a tabular form.
    >>View books returned
    This reads DIRECTLY from the BooksReturned table and just presents the info to the user in a tabular form.
    >>View all Students
    Lists out all the students that are registered in the Application System. It READS DIRECTLY from the Students table. This area is used by the Admin/Operator of the Application to view a List of all the Students that have had transactions with the Application.
    >>Request for book(s) Area
    This area relates DIRECTLY with the UsersRequest table in the DB. It FEEDS in Data into the UsersRequest table. This area allows the admin to collect info of the student that's requesting for the book. It provides texboxes such as: First Name, Middle Name,
    Surname, RegNo, BookTitle
    >>Register Student Area
    This area relates DIRECTLY with the Students table in the DB. It FEEDS in Data into the Students table. This are allows the admin to input info of students that are new to the system.
    In other for the Admin to keep track of NEW students who are coming in to request for books this area is very important. It allows the Admin to register a new student so that the student can now request for books.
    There are text input fields on this Screen that allow the Admin to collect certain infomation about the student and feed it into the Students table of the DB. Textboxes inculde: First Name, Middle Name, Last Name, RegNo
    >>Return books Area
    This area relates DIRECTLY with the BooksReturned table. It FEEDS Data into the BooksReturned table. Textboxes include: Book Title, Author, ISBN, First Name of student, Last Name of student
    Release Notes Screen
    This Screen has three tabs that contain their own individual MESSAGES. The tabs are: Version, Known Issues
    Version
    Refers to the version of the Application. This tab provides info about the version of the Application
    Known Issues
    Known problems with the Software Application
    Splash Screen
    A very simple/ moderate graphic (nothing fancy)to introduce the Application

  • HT204053 How do I delete my existing iCloud account (on ALL my apple devices), and start over from scratch??

    How do I delete my existing iCloud account (across ALL my apple devices), and start over from scratch??
    (cant seem to get calendars to ever sync right, on my devices, and across to my wifes'....so want to start with a "clean installation")

    Settings>icloud, scroll to bottom of screen and tap Delete Account (this disconnects the device from icloud but doesn't delete any data on icloud or on other devices).
    If you then want to sign back in using a different ID, do so on the same screen.
    I also strongly suggest that you and your wife use different icloud accounts, otherwise all your devices will have the same data on them, same emails, reminders, etc.  Most likely not what you want.

  • ICal: how can I start from scratch?

    I'm having recurring and persistent problems with iCal since I bought a new Mac Pro and migrated my user files from my previous computer (G5, which was also running Leopard).
    At first, alarms weren't working. I read several threads here and went through a lot of troubleshooting and finally got that working again.
    However, iCal is still very slow and buggy. For example, when I create a new to-do and click on the "due date" checkbox, it takes about 10 seconds for the check to appear. The spinning beachball is a frequent sight, and everything from creating new events to setting due dates and calendars takes five times longer than it used to when I was using iCal in Tiger.
    I created a backup of my iCal file, and manually exported my calendars for extra protection. Then I used AppZapper to completely uninstall iCal and all related files, and I used Pacifist and the OS X DVDs to reinstall iCal. Then I imported each calendar individually.
    This didn't work. iCal is still so unresponsive it's almost unusable. If there were another alternative out there that worked with my iPhone and other applications that sync with iCal, I'd be using it. But because I depend on those other apps I'm stuck with iCal, and I need to make it work.
    Is it possible that one of my calendars is corrupted and causing problems? What else can I do to find out where the problem lies?

    Harlan83,
    to start from scratch, you’ll need the pair of model-specific grey installation DVDs which originally came in the box with your MacBook Pro. You can purchase a replacement pair of DVDs for your model MacBook Pro from either Apple or iFixit.

  • MSI K8N neo 2 Plat System still to be Built from Scratch!!!

    Hi to all,
    My first post and it's gonna be lengthy I think!  
    I am not a gamer ever, most of what I do is Video encoding (mainly this 100% CPU hogging activity) and Graphics manipulation.
    Below is a list of what I have to start my build:
    Note that I do not overclock ever so please, no reference to this!!!
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (7025)
    Athlon 64 3500+ 92nm Winchester Core (retail)
    Cooler = Zalman CNPS7000B-CU Ultra-Quiet CPU Cooler (think I might have fitting probs with memory slots DIMM's 1+2(G/P) on the MSI Neo2 Plat board, DIMM's 3+4(G/P) might be my only option if I want to stick with this cooler but for fault finding purposes I can always use the stock cooler?)
    Corsair TwinXL PC3200 - CMX512-3200XLPRO 400Mhz 2.2.2.5 LL
    Antec True Power 550W with SATA supply (X2)
    1 X Western Digital 74Gb SATA Raptor HDD (I want this as my C: main boot, no Raid)
    2 X Seagate Barracuda 300Gb 7K2rpm SATA HDD (I want these as RAID 0/stripe=performance only)
    GPU: On order!
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/vga/vga/pro_vga_detail.php?UID=636

    Everthing is new in this set-up apart from my old IDE HDD's, still in boxes and ready to go ready for your input?
    Q1. Quote
    Keep in mind that you will need the special drivers to install your SATA Raid drives if you have any. When the windows install starts you need to keep tapping the F6 key to load those drivers from the diskette MSI supplied. "If you are using an Nvidia3 chipset with a single SATA drive and not raiding, you can skip this step, it will automatically be recognized by windows." (Tip Provided by timkessler)
    Straight forward if you are using one or the other methods mentioned in Tiresmokes thread Basic Building Tips(which is gr8, thnx for that Tiresmoke). But as above I want my W/D raptor as my C: main boot drive only, no RAID?
    Can I use the F6 option at the XP instal and then go on to set up the Raptor drive accordingly - and from there set up my 300Gb Seagates as RAID 0 (Seagates wont be attached till Raptor is set to C: main boot)???
    Once I get to this stage I will start asking about board BIOS and Driver details which I dont know as of yet, like I said everything is still boxed.
    I thought personally that starting this thread - people wanting to use this board would benefit from a brand new instalation from scratch guide from a relatively newbie point of view?
    I know there are alot of issues regarding the boards features, but I thought if I done this in public the relevant problems could be linked as I go along, either with problems or without - depending on the individual experience?
    pheeeewww, I said it was gonna be lengthy didnt I?

    If you wish you could even install windows without f6 & loading any drivers
    Having then got widows installed.
    Seperate project to
    enable raid in bios, creating the raid & let windows install drivers later.
    assuming you have an original windows cd ie pre sp1, the quickest method of installation is to slipstream windows.
    Basically you download latest service pack sp1 or sp2 insert your OS cd & run a program which merges the 2 & creates a new OS cd with the SP integrated. Any updates needed then are miimal.
    see
    Slipstreaming - Autostreamer Neowin - i'ts so easy i've heard grannies can do it
    hope this helps
    Looks like they moved the AutoStreamer thread, and updated to 1.033---> AutoStreamer 1.0.33

  • How do I re-install my Mac OSX Server from scratch

    Hi,
    I have purchased two MacMini Servers with 10.6 OSX Server software pre-installed.
    I have changed the organization as our company name changed and run into license issues.
    I want to re-install the Mac OSX Server software and start from scratch. How do I go about this. I tried yesterday for many hours to do so and the new installs are still running into duplicate license issues and other issues. What is the best approach to do re-install? I am willing to erase the internal Hard Disk and boot (with an external DVD optical drive) if that is the best way to go. What are the steps?
    I have the original CDs or DVDs and have extra, external hard disks to do a Time Machine backup, etc.
    Thanks,
    Don

    If you are looking to do a nuke and pave of the system, and you have an external optical drive, then yes, that is likely the most direct method. Connect the optical drive, insert the installation DVD, and reboot the system targeting the optical disk as the boot volume (you can do this by holding down the C key or the Option key during startup).
    Now, if you do not have an optical drive, you can put the installation disk into another Mac running 10.6 and use the Remote Install Mac OS X application in your Utilities folder.
    Hope this helps

  • HT1544 how can I reinstall the Mac OS X from scratch?

    I have an early 2008 iMac that came with Mac OS X 10.5 leopard. I have bought all os's since then, and Today I am using the most recent one, mountain lion. My question is, how can I reinstall the Mac OS X from scratch? Is there a quick way ? Or do I have to:
    Find the leopard CDs that came with the iMac
    And go through the cd installation.
    Then, can I jump from leopard to mountain lion?

    If your goal is to just reinstall Mountain Lion, you can restart the computer holding the Command and R keys, then choose the reinstall OS X option from the utilities choices presented to you.
    That restarts the computer using the recovery hard drive that was created when you installed Mountain Lion...but note you must have an internet connection when you do this reinstall.

  • How to create a bootable OEL5.8 .iso from scratch?

    Are there any instructions available about how to create a bootable .iso file, for installing OEL5.8, from scratch?
    We need to build a system which is a customised version of OEL5.8; we want to add some extra RPMs and remove others. We have an older build system which does this based on OEL5.5, but the way it has been built makes this hard to upgrade. We'd like to try starting from OEL5.8 again.
    One possibility would be to download the initial OEL5.8 .iso; mount this as a loop-back filesystem; adjust some RPMs and config; then re-create an .iso from this file. However, this doesn't allow us to update the kernel very easily. We'd prefer an approach which starts from a set of RPMs (perhaps including modified kernel RPMs) and builds the .iso from scratch.
    Many thanks for any pointers.

    You cannot simply edit an .iso image file because the iso9660 filesystem is read-only. And even if you create your own iso image from scratch, with a bootable code, any package you add will not be part of the initial installation, unless you recreate the appropriate software repository database and anaconda installer. Sounds like overkill to me for what you are describing.
    Why would you want to go through the endeavor to adjust the Oracle Linux distribution DVD for the purpose of creating a customized system? Why not using Kickstart instead, or a simply create a post-installation script to modify the installation to your needs?

  • Restarting from Scratch

    My Macbook pro has been running slower and slower for quite a while.  I have just ordered Snow Leopard to upgrade and whilst at it, I figured now would be a good time to completely clean out the computer and start again.  I have lots of photos and music etc as well as some documents I need to keep, but otherwise not that much of massive significance.  Is there a step by step guide to what I need to do, to do a complete system reset and reinstall?  My only problem that I worry about is that I run an old iWork and iLife, which I no longer have the disks for - can i keep these?  Thanks for any help?

    Because you do not have the discs to reinstall iLife or iWork you cannot erase your drive and start from scratch or you will lose both.  So you need to upgrade your system to Snow Leopard which does not erase the drive.
    To clean up your existing system see the following:
    Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
    For disk repairs use Disk Utility.  For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior;  DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.x is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation.  TechTool Pro 4.5.1 or higher are Intel Mac compatible;  Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided.  Versions 1.5.1 or later are Intel Mac compatible.
    OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.  Dependence upon third-party utilities to run the periodic maintenance scripts had been significantly reduced in Tiger and Leopard.  These utilities have limited or no functionality with Snow Leopard and should not be installed.
    OS X automatically defragments files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
    I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.  Other utilities are also available such as Onyx, Leopard Cache Cleaner, CockTail, and Xupport, for example.
    For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack.  If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.  Note that AppleJack 1.5 is required for Leopard. AppleJack 1.6 is compatible with Snow Leopard.
    When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
    Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
    Backuplist
    Carbon Copy Cloner
    Data Backup
    Deja Vu
    iBackup
    JaBack
    Silver Keeper
    MimMac
    Retrospect
    Super Flexible File Synchronizer
    SuperDuper!
    Synchronize Pro! X
    SyncTwoFolders
    Synk Pro
    Synk Standard
    Tri-Backup
    Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQs on maintenance, optimization, virus protection, and backup and restore.
    Additional suggestions will be found in Mac Maintenance Quick Assist.
    Referenced software can be found at CNet Downloads or MacUpdate.
    After you do some maintenance your current system should be in decent shape for upgrading.  The next thing you need to do is make a backup.  I suggest you do that as follows.  You will need an external hard drive you can erase that will be used for the backup.
    Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
    1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
    2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
    3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
    4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
    5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
    6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
    7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the external backup drive. Source means the internal startup drive.
    You can then boot from the Snow Leopard DVD and follow the onscreen instructions for installing.  The installation will be an upgrade that preserves all your files.

  • Installing OSX 10.4 from scratch??

    Hi All,
    Recently I bought a new hard drive, and have copied all my files i want to keep onto DVD's. I would like to start from scratch again with the new hard drive, does anyone have any tips/instructions on how to install OSX 10.4? I have the 2 startup disks that came with my MacBook. Is it just these 2 i need to install the whole system? Do I need to partition the drive or anything?
    Any help would be great.
    Many thanks.

    Hi all, thanks for the responses.
    although I am having a bit of trouble with this:
    '3. Click the Erase tab.
    *4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.*
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Highlight the drive, select Partition Tab, then Format type... MacOS Extended Journalled, select the Security Options button, choose Zero Out Data, Erase... after completion hopefully you'll be able to install.'
    I can't see the disclosure tab? What is it you mean by that??
    The way I have understood doing this installation so far, is this. Is this right?:
    1. on inserting the disc, and selecting the language, i go onto disk utility.
    (according to http://www.kenstone.net/fcphomepage/partitioningtiger.html , i don't need to go onto the erase tab, as 'If you are going to partition your new drive you can skip down to the Partition section below, as when you partition your hard drive, you will reformat the drive during the partition process.' Is this right?)
    2. i go onto partitioning, select my one partition i want to make, select it from the big box to the left, click to format as mac os extended (journaled)
    3. click the partition button, and wait for this to finish.
    4. carry on installing tiger as i've finished formatting/partiting.
    does this sound right? if not, where have i got it wrong, and what do i need to change?
