Eventually, I will have everything documented... I'm to a point where I may or may not have made changes, in sufficient quantity, that I may no longer have a system, that I know.
Sounds confusing. But is about time to format over and reinstall. This time, taking the proper options and having Linux also setup properly. I will be generating a series of single pack, 3390-9 Oracle systems for testing. Both application, communications, DBA and what-not testing. I don't mind the java stuff for installs, as long as the java code is minimum during operation. Yep, RPMs would be nice, but I don't see too much difference in resources between an Oracle install and SLES9 install (using Yast). In both cases, on my system, it now takes about 20 minutes each. that is for SUSE9, from the IPL 00C to a finished system, and on Oracle side, from runInstaller, to bringing up the web browser. But it is comming along...

No RPM is available. The java based program to install Oracle uses CPU cycles and memory like they are going out of style. Oracle can't find its modules because it doesn't know about lib64 and so on. It is amazing that we pay for Oracle when MySQL drops in place so easily. The IBM RedBook is vague. In short, now I know why Oracle DBA's are paid so well. have you had any success installing? would you be willing to share your experiences in a how-to? we run SLES 9. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For LINUX-390 subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: INFO LINUX-390 or visit http://www.marist.edu/htbin/wlvindex?LINUX-390
