A Voodoo priest might solve the task.

I tried it some weeks ago to get Oracle installed to a 2.0.2/i386,
but it didn't work. The Oracle distribution consists of several
precompiled binaries, that are IMO very much tuned to work on
certified OS (check install/oraparam.ini, you'll find [1]).

With "./runInstaller -ignoreSysPrereqs" Oracle ignores the OS version,
but I had several problems to get some libs linked.

After some hours I gave up and used my Ultra 5 with Solaris as Oracle
host. She is somewhat slow, but it's enough to have fun with Oracle
exploits and rootkits.

BTW: I wouldn't want to use a production DBMS that has not been
compiled for the server OS.
