    Public yum server for OEL 6
    And here is an Oracle recipe to add public yum repository for OEL 6.1, with a minor twist if you’re behind a proxy server:

    $ cd /etc/yum.repos.d
$ sudo -s
# export http_proxy=your.proxy-ip:80
# wget  http://public-yum.oracle.com/public-yum-ol6.repo
# nano public-yum-ol6.repo

    Edit:
