The mount points are in support of Oracle's OFA, and not a requirement. You
can have just a single mount point if you like. In my case I've just
created a single mount point of /db ... in fact my first installation just
did a mkdir off of root for /db. I've since changed to a whole new drive
and mount for it.

Subject: [newbie] Linux on Oracle
hi all,
thnaks for your help
I am an Oracle DBA and so far have worked only on
WindowsNT. Now i am trying to install Oracle8i (8.1.6)
on Linux. I have got Linux Mandrake version 7.1
installed on a intel system.
300 MHz
64MB RAM
The oracle Documentaion asks to create 4 mountpoints.
One for the software and 3 for the database.
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this
question.
Thanks again
vinayak
