Greetings,
I have gotten the linux version of Oracle 8 to work on FreeBSD before (about
1 year ago).
If you will kindly search the FreeBSD mail archive, you should be able to
find my previous post.
Also, go a search on Deja news, (groups.google), there are some how-tos
out there from the linux community that contains detailed step-by-step
instructions (for a older version of Oracle though).
(Below is whatever I can remeber off my head, it has been more than a year since).
Basically, you need 1 linux (redhat is the one I used) to run the java-based
installation program. NFS mount the FreeBSD disk to this linux box during
the installation.
Once the installation(copying of files) is completed, you do not need the
linux system any more.
DO NOT use the wizard to create the database (db assist or something like that).
It doesn't work (for me, and many others). Instead, create the database and
the rest of the steps manually, on your FreeBSD server. (NB: this is where
the how-tos come in handy)
Good luck.
Regards,
/calvin
