Just in case - you did reboot after changing /etc/system didn't you?

Hi Riyaj,
It fails in the DB Assist step, I dont have to retry
the entire installation from scratch. I just have to
run the dbassist utility once again.
If you notice, in the dbassist utility process there
are 4 steps.
[1] Creating and Starting Oracle instance
[2] Copying DB files
[3] Initializing DB
[4] DB Creation complete
And it fails immediately after reaching (80%) the 3rd
step. It displays a message saying "Oracle not
available". I have to either Ignore it or Abort it. It
does not help with either choice.
Here are the env variables, incase if u need them.
ORACLE_BASE=/export/home/oracle
ORACLE_HOME=$ORACLE_BASE/oracle8i
PATH=$PATH:ORACLE_HOME/bin
ORACLE_SID=EDM
the loginid with which I login is oracle.
I'm not at my PC now. I shall take a look at the log
files and let u know.
Thanks,
gopi
