I doubt localhost is going to work for Oracle.

The dummy interface should work, you can even route to it from other interfaces. There is some info on it here: http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Virtualization-en-US/ch-virt-laptop-configurations.html . Obviously you only need the part about the dummy interface, you can ignore the part about virtualization.

Hope it's not too late ...

I have used the following process to install an Oracle Application server on a box which had not its real name and IP, it will perhaps work with a DB install

export an environment variable called ORACLE_HOSTNAME before to run setup :
export ORACLE_HOSTNAME=ORACLEBOX or what you want as a name for your computer.

In your host file add a new row with

ORACLEBOX 127.0.0.1

Then run your setup from CLI with this parameter :

setup OUI_HOSTNAME=ORACLEBOX

This ensures that The OUI will use the name given as its hostname, then as this host is defined on your loopback in the /etc/host file it could work.

You will have to check if these parameters exist with a DB setup ...

Best regards,
