Hey all,

Just dumped my primary Windohs desktop at work in favor of Gentoo (yay!),
and am installing O9iR2.  As I'm browsing thru the Install docs as I am want
to do prior to installs, I see that they recommend using:

        echo "somevalue" >/proc/sys/kernel/someparm

...in the startup to set kernel values.  Anyone know why Oracle wouldn't
recommend just populating /etc/sysctl.conf (or /etc/sysconfig/* or whatever
is available for your flavor of Linux).  I used this on the RH installs I've
done, and it works well.  The echo method is a hack that just doesn't seem
to be good practice to me.

Just wondering...
