I downloaded 9.2.0 for Linux from otn just a few weeks ago. I installs without a hitch on Mandrake 9.0. I am not sure why you can't download, it should work. What are the symptoms of the failure at download? I also installed 8.1.6 on Mandrake 8.2, but that was a year or so back. =============================================================== Ray Stell [EMAIL PROTECTED] (540) 231-4109 KE4TJC 28^D -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.com -- Author: Ray Stell INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
