If you are talking about the Oracle XE database product, Oracle itself provides extremely comprehensive installation documentation plus user forums where you can get help for this kind of thing. It is extremely difficult to install Oracle on Fedora. You are a lot better off using CentOS 5 as the host OS. Oracle provides a list of additional packages you need to have installed on the host OS prior to installing the Oracle product. http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/xe/index.html Read their documentation.
