# 2. Get Oracle 9i

## 2.1. CD Installation

If you got Oracle 9i on a CD then mount it:

mount `-r -o loop=/dev/loop0` `ora9id1.iso Disk1/`

## 2.2. Download

Otherwise download it from http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/oracle9i/htdocs/linuxsoft.html.

## 2.3. Install

Extract all three files:

gunzip `ship_9204_linux_disk1.cpio.gz`

cpio `-idmv -I` `ship_9204_linux_disk1.cpio`

Don't forget the `-I` option or you will get errors during the extraction.

This command will expand the cpio archive to the `Disk1` directory. Repeat the process for the other two archives.
