Oracle 8i installation problem

Hi All,

Before I explain what I did, here is the system configuration details :

Hardware :

CPU : Intel Pentium III 500 Mhz 
RAM : 256MB 
HDD : 15GB 

Software :
OS : Solaris 8 for Intel
Oracle : Oracle 8.1.7 Rel 3

I first changed the /etc/system file by adding these entries as it is given in the install.htm file. But it

failed.

set shmsys:shminfo_shmmax=4294967295 
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmin=1 
set shmsys:shminfo_shmmni=100 
set shmsys:shminfo_sshmseg=10 
set semsys:seminfo_semmni=100 
set semsys:seminfo_semmsl=100 
set semsys:seminfo_semmns=200 
set semsys:seminfo_semopm=100 
set semsys:seminfo_semvmx=100 

I tried it for the second time by using the original system generated file (the default) and it fails even then. I suppose it is due to the shm parameters in the /etc/system file.

Does anyone know what combination of shm parameters to

use with my HW configuration ?

Is it possible to copy these files onto a floppy with DOS format from Solaris. This way, I Can email you the

files atleast.

I know that my Solaris skills are pretty bad. I'm waiting for the Solaris 8 installation books to be released so that I can get myself certified.

Any idea which are the trace & log files that I need to look into.

Thanks,
