The installation process is the same as for OracleLinux8.8, so please refer to the following page.

OracleLinux8.10 Initial settings

1. Install bash completion extension package

2. Disabling SELinux

First, disable selinux. selinux is a feature that improves auditing and security in Linux, but when enabled, it can limit the behavior of services and the contents of the configuration considerably.
Therefore, it is basically a case of invalidation in many cases.

If this is not done, seinux will be enabled again when the server is restarted, so to permanently disable selinux, modify the /etc/sysconfig/selinux file.

Change "SELINUX=enforcing" to "SELINUX=disabled"

3. System Modernization

Update packages as soon as possible after OS installation.
However, when a dnf update is performed, a kernel update is also performed at the same time.
A kernel update may require rebooting the system or stopping services, or worse, a kernel panic may occur and the system may not boot. It is wiser to exclude the kernel from the update.
Run dnf -y update with "--exclude=kernel*" after it.
Kernel can be excluded from updates

4. Services to be stopped due to security measures

Stop the following services that you deem unnecessary.
