The post describes how to install Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL) and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) in step-by-step procedure with screenshots. The procedure is based on Graphical mode. Even the text mode is also similar but there is no mouse, you have to use only Keyboard.

Here I used  Oracle Enterprise Linux 5 (OEL 5), the same steps can be apply to:
Oracle Enterprise Linux 4 (OEL 4),
Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 (RHEL 4),
Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 (RHEL 5) 

No need of considering the Versions 4, 5 etc..., almost all versions have same steps.
