"Finding module dependancies" and a crash : Ctrl-C to cancel.
I've tried opening another tty console to see what is going on, but the
kernel won't let me see anything, errr, that is, it opens a console but the
screen is black and has one blinking cursor on the top left of the screen.

No, but that's not a problem. I've run a framebuffer device alongside libvga
when I had a slightly less powerfull video card and it ran fine. Just make
sure you make the correct mode selection.

Ok, I can take this and use it. As-a-matter-of-fact its probably what will
fix the problem. I should have checked the change logs too, but I doubt
there's been THAT much change that lilo won't install a kernel.
RedHat 6.0 and Mandrake Linux 6.0 certainly seems to have weirder
configuration files and links and modules setup than 5.2 does, anyone know
if this is true ?

Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I found a message on some other group which suggested....
1) do a normal install (but don't create the databases)
2) after install completes copy the /bin files directly from the release CD to
the $ORACLE_HOME/bin directory!
3) re-run the installer to create the databases if you want
This got me going on RH6.0 w/o having to relink everything to the old glib. I
am still not exactly sure why this works since ldd tells me that the Ora
binaries are indeed setup for dynamic linking to the old libs. It must be that
the linker finds the older glib and correctly resolves to them.

First you must *untar* compressed files ending in
for example. somefile.tar.gz
I forgot how to untar something...hmmm
If its a source code for example
Examplecode.c
Use gcc -o <new filename> Examplecode.c to compile the code
for the computer to understand.
There are also RPM's, another type of compressed file developed by
Red Hat.
There are no such things as double clicking on setup.exe
"Exe" like files don't exist in LInux, its about the typing :)
You'll get used to Linux.
Hopefully, this helps since I just installed Linux, as well.

There is the possibility of running '.jar' files (Java's answer
to TAR, essentially), but I don't think java is equipped
to run tape archive files created from 'tar'.
Try extracting it first:
tar xf mailpuccino.tar
(GNU Tar should be available on many operating systems, including WinNT/x86.)
I will also note that CLASSPATH is ALL CAPS; this may explain in
part your problem with respect to the second command line.
(On Unix or Linux, this would be a killer. On NT it might not
matter as much, though I can't say I know. If the problem
persists even with CLASSPATH, there might be a problem with
your Java installation.)
