FYI, you can bypass this using the -IGNORESYSPREREQS flag to runInstaller.
Or search Google for the other more elegant method, which involves editing a
parameter file to include your operating system in the 'approved' list of
OSes, whilst still checking the other prerequisites.

Note that this now also applies to the 9.2.0.5 patchset as the 10g installer
is a prerequisite of that patchset, including the operating system check.
