Around 100Gb just for the Oracle Apps (with the Vision demo database) + 25Gb Stage11i area you may want to keep + OS + etc.
As for being free, well you can download it for free but patches are only available from Metalink and you need a valid support identifier in order to subscribe to it.

I've been interested in playing with Oracle and I know you can get a free developer version.... But what's the bare minimum requirements? Does it need 200GB? -- Matt Shields http://masnetworks.biz http://sexydates4u.com http://shieldslinux.com http://shieldsmedia.com (currently under construction) http://shieldsproductions.com (currently under construction)

Hi folks,
I seem to remember someone asking how to install Oracle Apps on Linux so here goes a quick and dirty how-to:-
0 - You will need access to Metalink (Oracle's support site) for downloading patches and read documentation on line.
1 - Size up your Linux box to at least 1Gb memory and 200Gb of disk
space.
I'm assuming you have a Pentium 4 at around 3GHz.
2 - Download and install if not already installed
compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.126.
Fedora Core 3 doesn't come with it but you can get it from Fedora Core 2. WBEL and CentOS should have it installed by default.
3 - Download the latest version of Oracle Applications from edelivery.oracle.com. Latest release available is 11.5.10 and comes in 46 zip files totalling a 25Gb. It expands to about the same size since
there's
a lot of compressed files in it.
4 - Create a new group called dba. Create a new user called oracle and assign dba as the primary group.
5 - Log in as oracle and edit the .bash_profile to add the variable LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.4.19. Make sure you export it.
6 - Start unloading the zip files and make sure you follow the
instructions
from Oracle so that they end up in a nice tree under /Stage11i. Review the Installation guide.
7 - Rename the /usr/bin/unzip to whatever you want to call it and copy
the
unzip from /Stage11i/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/unzip/Linux.
8 - Change to /Stage11i/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz and execute
RapidWizVersion.
If it is not 11.5.10.33 you will need to download patch 4132885 from Metalink. Unzip the files under /Stage11i/startCD as it will overwrite the contents of Disk1.
9 - Download patch 3006854 from Metalink to fix an OS library problem.
10 - Start your installation by running /Stage11i/startCD/Disk1/rapidwiz/rapidwiz. Choose single box installation.
11 - Review the log file for any errors. Fix if required.
12 - If you're using an SQL Client from outside the Linux box you will
need
to comment some lines in your $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/SID_Servername/sqlnet.ora file (replace SID
with
your chosen SID, mine is PROD, default is VIS) and (replace Servername
with
your hostname). Look for the lines with tcp.validnode_checking and tcp.invited_nodes; put a '#' in the beginning. Restart your listener.
13 - Open your browser and point it to http://yourservername.yourdomainname:8000. Log in as operations/welcome
and
start hacking away :-)
Let me know if you're stuck with anything and I'll do what I can to help.
Cheers, Joao
Note
Oracle Apps forms in a browser is currently only supported on Netscape 4.7.xx and IE6 although it can be put to work with Firefox.
