A couple of days ago I was installing a WLS PS5 for a WebCenter Content installation. Im using linux 64bit version and found an annoying bug.
If you start the installation in GUI mode, the wizard will ask you for the oracle support mail and password. I tried several times to skip that step, but the installation does not allow any action to bypass it.
So my last chance, was the installation by command line, these are the steps of the complete process:
[oracle@owc WLS]$ java -d64 -jar wls1036_generic.jar -mode=console
