This space is in addition to the space required for installing Oracle Application Server
(listed in
Table 2–2 ).
To Copy the CD-ROMs:
1.
Create a directory structure on your hard drive as shown in Figure 2–1 .
You need to create a parent directory (called
OracleAS_10g
in the example, but
you can name it anything you like), and, under the parent directory, create
subdirectories called
Disk1
,
Disk2
, and so on. The names of the subdirectories
must be
Disk N
, where
N
is the CD-ROM number.

/cdrom_mount_point
/10.1.4disk2/*

2.10.3 Installing from a Remote CD-ROM or DVD-ROM Drive
If the computer where you want to install Oracle Application Server does not have a
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, you can perform the installation from a remote
CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive.
You can run the installer on a remote computer ("remote_computer"), but have the
installer screens display on your local computer ("local_computer"). The installer will
install Oracle Application Server on the remote computer.
