nice setup, doubt i'll drop the $$$ this time to get a machine
to handle 512M of ram, maybe for oracle 10j when it comes out and i can't force
it to run on my laptop :)
joe
PS: the 10j is just +9i+ not real meaning or
significance, oh wait and for those of you waiting for the
PSS: _make_sql_run_faster undocumented parameter for
9i. Its already set in the kernel, its not needed anymore.

Hi,
For those interested I installed Oracle
9i on Linux today.
My configuration :
Dell Inspiron 7500
512 Mb memory
30 Gb disk
SUSE 7.1
Swap partition = 2 Gb
I began with a fresh and clean install of
Linux SUSE 7.1. (default system + networking)
(Kernel 2.4, I had to modify the
semaphore and shared memory parameters)
I installed the jdk118_v3 from
blackdown.org.
I ftp'd the 3 .cpio files from
Technet.
Began Installing the Oracle Software and
choose to automatically install the database by use of the database
assistant.

Installation of software took about a
hour and a half. The swap went to approximitely 500 Mb.
Than the installation of the database
with Database Assistant ..
I took all the options (Java
VM,Intermedia,Ultrasearch,Examples) and it took about 3 hours to install the
database.
Swap went up to almost 600 Mb
!!
Everything runs fine as far as I can see
now.
So basically I encountered not one single
problem. It just took a hell of a time to do the install.
I work for a client with more than 200
databases (small, but a lot of big ones), so we need to optimize the install or
upgrade.
Off course the machines are a whole lot
bigger than my portable.
Just to let you know that 9i can
run on SUSE 7.1 without problems.(on my portable off course does not
implicitly mean everywhere)
