Hi,

I've just installed 10gR2 on my Sony laptop with 512MB of memory, which is actually running WinXP - in which I have a VMWare machine running RHAS3.0.

I gave the virtual machine 320MB memory during installation, installer complained about too little memory (wanted 1GB) and slightly old glibc libraries, but I could manually pass those checks (just by clicking on some checkboxes in installer) and continue installing. I did a custom install, unchecked the OLAP and spatial options and used DBCA to generate db creation scripts and ran them later on when all GUI stuff had finished, because of too little memory in my laptop (btw, my linux installation doesn't have XWin installed, I used cygwin for X emulation during installation). As I installed a preconfigured database, the whole thing went very fast (the scripts were using dbms_backup_restore.restoredatafileto() procedure to put the preconfigured files in place), under one hour to do soft installation + db creation, including sample schemas import and EM configuration.

So, that's cool, the first impression is very good. Now I'll try to downsize the virtual machine to 192MB or so, as with the previous 10.1.0.3 installation.

one could always add r2 in a likely place to the 10g documentation URL and see if you found anything useful, if beta, to download.
