installation  

As someone
already said, what&#8217;s wrong with the doc? I&#8217;ve had to install from scratch (literally, with 4 node clusters talking to each other but that&#8217;s it) which entailed doing all the pre-install config (checking for packages and so on &#8211; cluvfy is your friend for this!), doing the 10.2.0.1 install, patching for a specific issue with using multipath devices, then upgrading both the CRS and DB kernels to 10.2.0.2, installing ASMLIB and creating a database, and even without any time constraints completed that in about half a day.  

Most of my time
constraints have been from using VNC Viewer here in Oz to machines located in the US during the install. A week is plenty of time.  

Since
you&#8217;re using RH4, don&#8217;t forget to change the permissions in /etc/udev/permissions.d/50-udev.permissions for the OCR/voting devices.
