the first step i did was to download the rmp from the oracle website
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/database/xe/htdocs/102xelinsoft.html
NOTE: you will need to register before you can download. its free, the form just asks for your name your address. at the bottom of ther form there is an option to "unsubscribe" i checked this so i won't get any emails. once i have registered you will get the download you wanted. in my case i wanted to download the current release which was
Western European character set: oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm
now that i have dowloaded oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm into my server its time to install. this is how you install it, by running this command:
rpm -ivh oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386.rpm
ERROR: I gosh, i got an error now
error: Failed dependencies:
libaio >= 0.3.96 is needed by oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386
libaio >= 0.3.96 is needed by oracle-xe-10.2.0.1-1.0.i386
i guess i have to install this dependency which i just found out from oracle and it says i need these two packages:
Packages
Both of the following:
* - glibc – 2.3.2
* - libaio – 0.3.96
so now i will try to get these packages. since i only got the error with libaio i guess im ok with the glibc. but who know. i will update this once i get it and i will describe how i got it..

ok, i think i found a way to install it by
yum install libaio
afer i send this command, i got this:
