Dear Admin,
Lets consider the scenerio, Absolete newbie -in Linux and oracle 11i. Just following the Administration Document V 3.5 faithfully and blindly. What happens when this newbie reaches page 27 - 2.2 [ Apply patch 4198954 ] How will he/she apply the patch?
Chances are that a user account was created in linux. So to apply the patch do you login as the user or root and then where is the patches applied?
Sorry, if I have missed any notes on this, if not, I think it would be good to have this covered.

Thanks to help me in this regard, I will update this document very soon to remove this confusion.
I try to give you step by step solution to apply this patch.
Download the patch from metalink
Unzip the patch with this command
<b>$ unzip p4198954_21_LINUX.zip</b>
it will create a folder 4198954
Change directory to 4198954 with this command
<b>$ cd 4198954</b>
If you take the list you will get following two files
<b>$ ll</b>
total 12
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 3999 Feb 23 2005 compat-libcwait-2.0-2.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 3692 Feb 23 2005 compat-oracle-rhel4-1.0-5.i386.rpm
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle oinstall 753 Feb 23 2005 README.txt
Now run this command to apply these rpm file at OS level
Login as root user
<b>$su root</b>
<b>$rpm -i compat-libcwait-2.0-2.i386.rpm</b>
And then
<b>$rpm -i compat-oracle-rhel4-1.0-5.i386.rpm</b>
Thanks and Regards
