On a RH7.1 test box that I'd hosed, I needed to manually delete and reinstall Oracle. To do this, I needed to remove the $ORACLE_BASE/oraInventory directory (along with all the old $ORACLE_HOME dirs) as this contains all the fun stuff that the installer uses.
But one shouldn't nuke directories without knowing the ramifications... :) Rich Jesse System/Database Administrator [EMAIL PROTECTED] Quad/Tech International, Sussex, WI USA > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Barnett [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Tuesday, September 10, 2002 11:18 AM > To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L > Subject: 9ir2 Install on Linux > > > I am attempting to install 9ir2 on a Red Hat 7.2 Linux > box.
