The product that you are about to install needs to be owned by a dedicated
user. Only root or the dedicated user may be able to start the service. Most
of the time the server is run as `root' or `nobody'.
Enter the username the Access server is running as [nobody]
Enter the Group for the above username [nobody]
To which I give a valid user and group, and it gives me:
Sorry, invalid user `nobody' or invalid group `nobody'.
Please check and enter again.
I've tried a plenty of combinations or valid users and groups, even the sid and gid and nothing works.
To make things worse, most of the Oracle site seems down today. All of the books I need and some downloads all return 404. It amazes me that Oracle can stay in business while eating their own dog food. I figured they would need to run software by a competent vendor.
At least this is getting me nice and riled up for the terrible Oracle love-fest that I'm going to next week.

Hi,
I am facing the same issue.Did u find any workaround for this?.
I learned that this is their fancy way of saying your platform is unsupported. I was using Fedora at the time. Real informative Oracle...
Anyway, if you install on RedHat AS4 or something close (perhaps CentOS) then you can get the thing to proceed further into the install.
I am sure I will run into other issues, but changing OS solved the first issue.
