Oracle 10g runInstaller OS check to install Oracle on redhat-5

If you need to install Oracle Database 10g on newer version of redhat and the runInstaller is complaining about OS pre-requisite checks there are 2 ways to work around this.

1. One easy work around is to edit the oraparam.ini under database/install directory to add the OS. In my case I added redhat-5

[Certified Versions]
Linux=redhat-3,SuSE-9,redhat-4,redhat-5,asianux-1,asianux-2

2. Is to do a silent install where you edit the response file.
