To start your installation of Oracle Linux, simply highlight the option "Install Oracle Linux 7.0" then press enter. Your installation will now start. You may also choose to test the media first before installing (always recommended).
Welcome to Oracle Linux 7.0
From this screen you will need to choose the language that is going to be used during the installation process. In the example, "English United Kingdom" has been chosen.
Installation Summary
At this screen various options are available to choose from. However, you must address any highlighted options before you can continue with your installation. In this example installation we will choose to change the "Software Selection" from a minimal installation to that of an installation with a GUI desktop. We will also configure the network and hostname.
Software Selection
From this screen you can choose the role your server/computer is going to be created for. Various build options are available to choose from. These include: "Minimal Install (default)", "Infrastructure Server", "File and Print Server", "Basic Web Server", "Virtualization Host" or "Server with GUI". In this example I have chosen the "Server with GUI" option.
Installation Destination
From this screen you need to confirm the device(s) that you wish to install to. You also have the option of encrypting your data. These additional options can be chosen by placing a tick in the relevant box. For this installation, we have gone with the default options (automatic partitioning scheme). Once you are happy with your chosen options, you will need to click "Done" to continue with the installation.
Network and Hostname
From this menu, we are going to configure the network and give our system a name (hostname). If your system is connected to your network, you can simply select the "On" position to connect to your network. The hostname is set by typing a unique name for your system in the lower left hand corner. In this example we successfully connected to our DHCP server and obtained an IP address. If you are not using DHCP to supply an IP address, then you will need to click on the "Configure" option in the lower right of the screen. Here you will be asked to supply your network information: IP address, Netmask and Gateway information. Once you have completed this section, click on "Done" to continue.

User Account Configuration Screen
The next section of this installation requires a root password to be supplied along with the name of a User. Click on each of the highlighted options in turn to enter the requested information.
Root Password
You must now specify a root password to be used for administering your system. Note, if you supply a weak password, you will be asked to press "Done" twice to confirm you have chosen a weak password!
Create a User
From this screen you must define the name of a user for your system. you may also wish to select the option to make this user an "Administrator". Again, if you supply a weak password, you will be asked to confirm this. Once you have supplied the relevant credentials, simply click "Done" to continue with the installation.
