We have installed 8.1.7 (32-bit) on Solaris 2.7. No problems so far. Distribution comes on 2 CD's and you will end up with a much larger ORACLE_HOME than with 8.1.6.
We did have a minor issue with init.ora parameter gc_rollback_locks. Oracle expects a string here, I believe. The thing was that 8.1.6 did not have this problem, albeit we had specified it incorrectly. This parameter pertains to OPS. The frustrating part was figuring out which init.ora parameter was causing the problem. If you have a bad init.ora parameter, Oracle doesn't point you to the line number in the init.ora that's having a problem as a compiler would do. This would definitely be a nice enhancement. In the end, we just commented out the line containing gc_rollback_locks, ie., used the default value.

Let me know if you need a sample init.ora (that works) when you're ready to create your 8.1.7 database.
