WLS Installer hangs at 70%

I was trying to install WLS/SOA using domain wizard and it hangs for ever at 70%

took a dump and found that it hangs in

    at java/security/SecureRandom.generateSeed(SecureRandom.java:495)



which is a age old linux issue with java


 solution is to edit  the file jre/lib/security/java.security so that the following property is set permanently:
securerandom.source=file:/dev/./urandom
 
Good blog about it

unpack.sh (domain migration tool) also hangs in the same code, 
so this modification fixed the that too, I highly recommend this since we don't
where else oracle fmw products use this ...
