Hi Guys
I was able to install Oracle Financials Release 12 on Netbooks. However I made a few configuration changes to get the most out of my system.
I will describe the steps here. I purchased an ASUS eePc Netbooks for 349$ with a 5 hr battery back up time. This has Windows Xp on it.It has a 160 GB hard disk and 1 GB ram which I definitely wanted to upgrade. So I purchased a 2GB Ram and a 320 GB internal hard drive.
Used Norton Ghost to create a back up disk of my 160 gb disk. So my 320 gb disk became a back up disk for my original 160 gb disk.
I slipped this 320 gb disk and 2gb ram into my netbook. I also purchased a 8gb SDHC card f or under 15 $. I made this as swap memory for my netbook.
Installed VC++ 6 ( yes it works with this also ) and Cygwin. Downloaded the software from Edelivery website and staged it onto 160 gb disk (which is an external disk now).
In the localhosts file I added an entry like localhost.OracleApps.com and gave an IP address of 127.0.0.1
Then I ran the rapidwiz wizard from the external disk. From this point it took about two and half hours to complete the installation.
So guys you can also use these steps to install Release 12 on netbooks or any other system that you want to use for your release12 usage.
Thanks
Kumar
