I'm currently downloading the set of five CDs. I already got the first ISO (my connection is slow), burnt it and installed it on a spare machine. The installer looks indeed quite the same as RHEL/CentOS (and makes you even wonder if they changed something besides the name :oD). Since I have to wait for the other ISOs to download, I went for a minimal install, e. g. everything unchecked, even [Base]. Unfortunately, contrary to CentOS, this way of doing things doesn't get me Yum, and a manual install of Yum apparently requires some packages that are not on the first CD. So I'll simply wait for the other ISOs to download and go for something less minimal. I'm especially curious to know about the default Yum repos config : where does Oracle Linux have its repos and its updates ? Do I have to subscribe to something to get them or are they free ? Well, I guess I'll have to wait for my download to finish to get the answer. Cheers, Niki
